Mere words don't begin to describe the incredible beauty my family and I enjoyed during our visit today. From the deer to the coyotes to the snow-capped mountains to the beautiful mountain falls, my family and I highly recommend taking the Alpine Scenic Highway. It was a day to take in some of God's greatest creations.

The Heist was a lot of fun. Plenty of challenging puzzles with good diversity. And more than one red herring along the way. We just made it out with 1 second to spare!

Despite not being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I knew I had to make a trip to Brigham Young University while in Utah because of my deep, abiding interest in Mormon culture (and profound love of Provo's Most Eligible). Here are my thoughts: - My husband and I scheduled a golf cart tour which we highly recommend, particularly because we were visiting on a 96-degree July day. Our student guide was clearly mystified as to why two Boston-based non-members were touring the campus, but was very gracious and knowledgeable. - If you're visiting BYU primarily as a tourist site, I'd suggest checking out the amazing free art museum, enjoying some delicious ice cream at the Creamery, and going bowling at the student center. I have to say, I also found the BYU Store absolutely mesmerizing. Where else can you find missionary action figures and Brick'Em Young temple building sets? - My advice to any non-member visitors: please be mindful about what you wear while on the campus. Out of consideration to Mormon modesty standards, I made a point of wearing a blouse with capped sleeves and long pants, but if I could go back in time, I would without a doubt wear a dress or skirt. Perhaps this is less true during the academic year when there are more students on campus, but when I visited in the summertime, I didn't observe a single woman in pants the entire day. I definitely stuck out like a sore thumb. A visit to BYU would not be everyone's cup of tea. However, I found this to be one of the most memorable days of my trip to Utah!

Our family enjoyed our visit of this museum during spring break. We attended the afternoon live animal show, which was informative and well done. The incredible collection of taxidermy animals is purely fascinating. The museum is well maintained and meticulously clean. Visitor parking is free. You just park in the adjacent parking lot, and go in to the front desk to ask for a complimentary parking permit. We would definitely recommend this museum to all families who are visiting the Provo area.
