Explore SLC - 2/16

OK, it's not the grand outdoor adventure but the best I could do today.

Started the day and the Museum of Natural History. Felt odd because there were lots of families with kids....and me (OK, there were a few adult couples).

Fanastic dinosaur display (UT had plenty of dinosaurs)!! Didn't know there were that many!




















Nice display of human evolution. And then all the cultural stuff. But finally the plants, animals and ecosystems (my favorite).

Perhaps the best part was walking on the upper deck to get a good look at the SLC inversion (and red-alert smog). :)

Then over to 9th and 9th - supposed to be a hot shopping. Looped around 3 times to get parking, stayed 5 minutes (not my thing).

Then over to Liberty Park (city park). I've driven around it before and now's my time to walk it. Lots of folks, ducks on pond, .... very neat.



Went to the Tracy Aviary (at Liberty Park). Even more ducks!! Golden and Bald eagles, Great Horned, Saw-whet, Screech, Barn, Burrowing Owls, tropical birds, etc Not too bad.

Finished the day at one of many of the SLC chocolate placing.
