This brand new shopping center in downtown Salt Lake is absolutely incredible! It's 2 city blocks long has a retractable ceiling that opens the mall up to the night sky, as well as a sky bridge. An actual creek runs through the middle, so not only is there great shopping, but the scenery is incredible. There are some pretty ritzy stores- Tiffany's, Restoration Hardware, Porshe- but on the flip side there's also more "normal" mall stores like Claire's and Macy's! The Disney store is a MUST if you have little girls. It's absolutely MAGICAL. It's a very hands-on store, so anticipate spending a bit of time in there {30-40 mins} to take it all in. There are several nice restraurants like the Cheesecake Factory and Blue Lemon, but if you have kiddos, I'd head to the food court. Prices are very reasonable and they have an incredible play area! This mall would be a fantastic place to take the kids!

I think this is a fun, informative activitivity if you're looking to break up the week a bit. It's free and takes about an hour. Babies sit in strollers that are provided. Everyone wears a hair net and stays together. It's fun watching how taffy is made and of course, everyone LOVEs taste testing! Fresh taffy- even the kid that's still warm- is sooo much better! You can purchase products at the end and they have some very inepensive packages, so it's fun to take some home as well. I was able to pick up some "scratch & dent' type boxes for super cheap!

We enjoyed our trip to Wheeler. It was a little on the small side, but it was still fun to walk around and see all the animals. It's pretty spread out, so even when it got a bit crowded, it didn't really feel like we were around a ton of people. You can take a guided tour- I think that's how most people go through. Our tour guide didn't seem very knowledgeable, which was a little annoying, but overall, still fun.

There is so much to do at Thanksgiving Point! We're split on favorites- half of us like the Dinosaur Museum the most, the other half like Farm Country. The Gardens are also spectacular, so really, I say it depends what time of year it is! Also, stop by the Emporium store while you're there. It's pricey, but so fun to window shop in there! The restaurant is amazing, but we also like the little cafe and it's cheaper.

There are a lot of soup-sandwich-salad type places out there, but Zupas is perched HIGH above the rest! Their soups are fresh, unique and delicious. My favorite is Mushroom Bisque. I've never tasted anything like it and crave it!! Tehir sandwiches all use Meunster cheese- a milk white cheese that has a lovely flavor- makes all the sandwiches sooo good!! Tehir salads are tossed right in front of you and are made to your choice- they have tons of different kids. I like any with berries. So the food is fantastic, I just wish it were slightly cheaper! Reserve this restaurant for a date night! Leave the kids at home, they won't be able to appreciate it anyways!!
