Over the last several months we have found that anytime we want to go anywhere or do anything, we must first consult some form of online deal forum to check for coupons. Want to go out to eat? Bowling? To a play? Going to be in Provo around lunchtime? Then first we must scour the internet for a coupon. Our dependency is so complete that we cannot, in fact, go anywhere if we do not have a coupon.
Therefore, when faced with vacation options (which were, essentially, weather to have one or not) we consulted the crystal ball that is the Internet, and found our answer: Groupon.
There was a deal on a fairly good discount for a Salt Lake City three day pass. This pass, once activated, was good for three days and allowed you into 13 Salt Lake attractions.
Due to the way Jared's work turned out the kids and I spent the first day on our own. We had planned to go to the Dinosaur museum, but pulling into the parking lot reminded me that it was the first Tuesday in August, which meant you could get in to all the attractions at Thanksgiving point for cheap. Cheap attractions= kajillions of people= we got ice cream and got out.
We headed to downtown and spent a couple of hours at the Discovery Children's Museum. The boys have both been there, but this was Eleanor's first time.
She loved it.
Absolutely loved it.
She and her loaded down shopping cart could have played there for hours. And hours.
Then we went across the street to the Clark Planetarium to watch a movie about the stars of Egypt in a dome theatre. It was...boring. But, ok.
We then met Jared for pizza and a headed home.
