For the last day of our vacation we headed down to BYU for some free museum fun. We started at the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, affectionately (or not so affectionately) known as the "dead animal" museum.
It was actually a pretty good museum. They had a reptile animal show that started when we first got there. I missed most of it because Saffron was dragging me around to see the lions, zebras, and bears. She really likes anything that roars, seeing that she has quite the roar herself.
We went to the creamery afterwards to get some of their famous ice cream. The ice cream was really good, but they converted it into a mini grocery store, so with only a few tables, the atmosphere wasn't as good as I remembered it.
We then went to the MOA (Museum of Art). They had some really nice art there, plus they had a Minerva Teichert exhibit that was very beautiful (in spite of Miles and Ian muttering "boring" every few minutes.) We saw Melinda's aunt Coleen, her cousin Haley and Miguel and their kids, and had fun catching up with them.
On our way back to Salt Lake we stopped at the Draper IKEA store. They have some really cool stuff there, and it is definitely a unique shopping experience (as long as you can suppress the feeling of being a rat in a maze.) We had dinner there and ate their famous Swedish meatballs and some of their delicious "Chocolate Overload" cake.
We were getting kind of tired, and Saffron was getting out of hand so we were very happy to get home. After all, there's no place like home.
