Flash Back Friday: Lime Ricki Swimwear

By Carlie and Katie from Miss Hazel Bloom Photography

Walking into Lime Ricki is like stepping into a hip swim shop right on a beach.  True, Utah is landlocked, and without a beach, but when you pick up a cute suit from Lime Ricki it will make being landlocked much more fashionable.

One of our favorite features of the Lime Ricki swim wear is that it is made to flatter many varied body types, with options in a tankini; halter top; one piece suits; and skirts, to name a few. 

  

With a store front conveniently located on Highland Drive, and multiple other stores carrying their suits, finding the perfect one will be a snap!  As an added bonus, Lime Ricki has a variety of styles for the whole family; including kids, maternity, as well as men and women’s suits.

Discovery Gateway Children's Museum

If you are looking for a fun activity to do with kids in Salt Lake, head to Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. The interactive exhibits are both fun and educational so children and parents will love it! 

We love the play market in the Kids Eye View exhibit, where kids can go grocery shopping. Everything in the Kids Eye View is all scaled down to a child's size.

There is something for kids of all ages, Discovery Gateway even has a private play area for small children. The older kids will love the Media Zone where they can anchor the evening news or report the weather behind a green screen.

Read more about the many exhibits at Discovery Gateway here.

Mediterranean Market and Deli

Mediterranean Market & Deli has been a go-to deli for us for years. This owner-operated market and deli is a great lunch spot.  But their catering, meat and cheese trays, salads, market items and pans of lasagna make it a great place when planning your next party.

Every day Mediterranean Market and Deli offer a sandwich special and pasta special for lunch.  They also have hot and cold sandwiches, panini's, spaghetti and meatballs, salads and more.  They are reasonable priced for a lunch out or get your food to-go.

We love the friendly, personal service you receive at Mediterranean Market & Deli, but the great food and good prices will keep you coming back for more.

Weller Book Works at Trolley Square

By Victoria Saley from obSEUSSed

 Weller Book Works has been a destination for Salt Lake City book lovers for more than 80 years. Originally known as Sam Weller’s Bookstore, located downtown on Main Street, they just moved to Trolley Square earlier this year. They are now known as Weller Book Works as they offer a variety of book options including new, used, out-of-print and rare books with plans to incorporate e-books. This is Utah’s oldest and largest independent bookstore.



You’ll find them in the south west corner of Trolley Square mall where the old movie theaters were located. Those tall theater ceilings allow for an upstairs loft filled with rare and religious books and plenty of natural light.



I really enjoyed this open feeling compared to their previous location on Main with the basement. I asked for a certain book and their employee took me right to it within 20 seconds.  They know their stuff.

They have Story Time for children on the first and third Thursday each month at 10:30.



LIT KNIT happens on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday evenings 6-8 pm for a night of crafting and conversation.



They also have author signings and visits so check their calendar to see what they have coming up.



Operation Book Drop:
Look out for Free books around Salt Lake City. Weller Book Works has dropped 878 books randomly around town with instructions inside to read it and leave it randomly for someone else. What a fabulous idea! I hope to find one someday.

At This Is The Place you get to step back in time to experience our Utah heritage. Kids can see and experience how our ancestors did chores, went to school, worked in their gardens and so much more.
They will also love the clean petting zoo and horse rides. 

This Is The Place Heritage Park is a favorite venue of tourists and families alike.  It also hosts numerous events and activities sponsored by civic, business, community and private organizations. You can even hold your next retreat or family reunion at the Park.

Every day during the Winter Season, including Sunday’s year round you can enjoy a variety of activities at This Is The Place. One is a ride on one of three replica trains, which includes a tour of the Village with a few hundred years of history thrown in! You’ll see the Salt Lake Valley from the vista of the Native American Village, a picturesque panoramic view of the place early explorers, settlers, and native cultures called "home."

In addition to the train tour, you can explore the Village on a self-guided walking tour. You’ll receive a map at the Visitor Center admission desk showing you each historic home or area in the Park. Each area or historic building has a marker in front with information about it and when it was constructed.

Glaus French Pastries

By Carlie and Katie from Miss Hazel Bloom Photography

A family owned business since 1935, Glaus French Pastries is a little slice of heaven.  Known for their "Honey Boys", Glaus is a family favorite.  As we were shooting, one patron explained that "Honey Boys" had been a family tradition at their home for three generations, in fact, she had driven in from another city just to carry on that tradition.  

In addition to cookies, this little bakery also specializes in cakes, muffins, breads, and assorted pastries.   It was all we could do to avoid walking out the door with our own "Honey Boys" and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins.  Stop by and see for yourself!
