In just a few days, we will have out first houseguests. We are so excited for Donny and Jessica to get here, the problem is, we've only lived here for two months so we have no idea what they need to see and do while they are here. We really haven't explored that much since Larry has to work a lot. I think the only time they've spent out west was a few days in San Fransisco so we really want to show off Utah. They'll be here for four and a half days so what do you think we should do?Please help me brainstorm, and the more details, the better.
campfire up the canyon?
ReplyDeletei'm actually coming up quite blank, which may be the reason we moved.
Gardner Village-Especially fun this month as it is witches month and they have all different decorations and fun shops.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving point gardens
Park City
Mountains are a definite must..
Bingham Copper Mine
Temple Square
Zoo
Cafe Rio salads, a visit to Sundance the grill and cafe aren't to much money and it's so fun to walk around. Parkcity, you could do the alpine slide and go to the outlets. There was just a write up about a good hike to see fall leaves on your heart out around that area too.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you want to brave the drive I think a day to Moab/arches is what people think of when they think of Utah.
Startups suckers? Temple square?
I'll keep thinking.
I hear the bobsled run in Park City is exciting- if you're brave enough.
ReplyDeleteI saw this online today and thought of you: http://www.redbuttegarden.org/gad -- Storybook Garden After Dark.

Into Hiking? Try the Salt Lake Overlook hike (the name says it all) or Dog Lake or you could do Timp cave if you're in Provo.
ReplyDeleteAnything going on at the Delta Center?
Temple Square
Haunted house (can't think of any off the top of my head)
Picnic & feed the ducks at Sugarhouse Park
Have you guys tried Pierpont Cafe?

I love Park City--the food, shopping, Olympic Park, Alpine Slide, fall colors, it is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSalt Lake- hike Ensign Peak, shopping, Temple Square, museums
Provo- drive Alpine Loop to see the fall colors, Bridal Veil Falls, Sundance for some yummy food
STEWART FALLS PICNIC!!!
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm the wife of Tyler, cousin of Larry. I met your husband at our reception in Salem (side note: he is fantastic) and Tyler directed me to your blog a while ago because he thought I would like it - he was right. I hope you don't mind me peeking in on your life every now and then (if that sounds at all creepy - forgive me)
ReplyDeleteMy ideas:
-The BEST Gelato I've had in Utah
Docetti Gelato 751 S 1100 E
-Egg's in the City (this place is A++) 1675 E 1300 S
-Este Pizza (delicious)
2021 Windsor St # A (off of 9th east)
-Moriarty's Antiques
(one of my fav's)
959 S West Temple
-Liberty Park, always has fun things going on, plus it's beautiful.
Most of my ideas are food...
This is long - my apologies.
Sorry to bombard again, but I must tell you about Finns - it is the best breakfast place I have encountered, since I moved here. Finns is culinary perfection with brilliant ambiance. Go before it gets to cold, sitting on the patio is a must. Please order and savor their waffles with lingonberries.
ReplyDelete1624 S 1100 E, Finns.
You could go get a book signed by Shannon Hale this Saturday at All Tucked Inn in Bountiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try to sneak away to go.
Breakfast at Ruth's Diner up Emigration Canyon is always nice - that also gives you an opportunity to pass the zoo and "This is the Place" Monument.
ReplyDeleteI second the Dog Lake hike - the Cottonwood Canyons are always so lovely.
I think Snowbird has a tram that takes you to the top? You did that already, right?
Have fun! :-)
