What will be cool things to do?

My oldest is going to be at the BYU soccer camp from the 24th to 28th. My youngest daughter will be with my dad that week also.

I want to take the kids to Roosevelt where I grew up to show them around.

What else will be fun for them to do?

Besides golfing with some folks on the board.

The wife and I have reservations at a time share in Park City from the 21st to 28th. The place is named Sweetwater @ the park lift lodge. Should be primo....

Give me the info....

With me when I am back in SLC it is all about eating at my favorite places. Portland has some good places, but there is a few things that I can get in SLC that nothing in Portland has come close to yet. I highly recommend dining at these fine establishments.

Greek Souvlaki - best gyro in town. Just thinking about the lamb meat covered in yogurt sauce wrapped in a pita causes spontaneous drooling.
Crown Burger - still the best burger that I have ever had, nothing I have found in my current city is even close.
The Pie: best pizza I have ever had. Great college hangout, which of course means it is a University of Utah hangout.
Groves Market - very good place to pick up a sandwich. Not really a must hit place, but still very good. They also have a great collection of hot sauces. The funniest one I have ever seen there is the Weapons of Ass Destruction hot sauce.

Yes it is all about the food with me. While my breasts have been shrinking the past few months with weight loss I will always have the heart of a fat guy in me. If you want to know where to get the best Cajun Shrimp Wrap than ask Goatnapper.

Mmm...I agree on The Pie..I love that place.

They've recently started franchising around the valley. There is one a stone's throw away from me here in the Ft. Union area. I was very pleased to find out that none of the quality or taste has been compromised.

Grove's Market has the biggest sandwiches I've ever seen or tasted. Very good stuff.

There was a place right across the street from Helaman Halls next to Harts called "The Pie Pizzeria" that was our freshman year hang out. Is that the same company?

I doubt that it was the same company. If it was the same company and it failed in Provo than my dislike of Provostan has increased greatly.
