“Joey and Janice’s day of fun.” –Friends

This past weekend was pretty fun. Since we are short on funds, we are unable to take a real vacation. Not wanting our kids to have a shortage of family memories (some of the Wife’s and my favorite memories as kids are going on vacation with our families) we decided to have a mini-vacation in our own backyard. (To which Buddha replied at one point, “But we’re not in our backyard.”)

We spent the weekend doing all the touristy stuff our city has to offer. In just two days we hit the zoo, a tram ride up to an 11,000 feet peak at a ski resort, an aquarium, Temple Square, a 3-D T-Rex IMAX movie at the planetarium, a children’s museum, a museum of natural history, and a Triple-A baseball game complete with fireworks afterwards.

It was a busy weekend, but is was very fun to spend time with the fam. I hope the chil’en will remember it for a while. I know I will.
