Cheap Family Fun Vacation Idea

Here's my suggestion for a cheap family fun vacation idea. We live near Salt Lake City and the city has lost of exhibits that are free for the visitor.

While many are provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints they are full of historical value about our nation’s growth and development.

There are organ recitals in the conference center nearly everyday that are amazing.

There are many old pioneer homes to visit such as the Beehive House, Lyon House and one of Brigham Young’s homes.

There is the cobble stone street with rail tracks just outside temple square.

For the genealogy person the Joseph Smith Building has an amazing collection of records and the volunteers will help you get started in finding your roots.

At evening the lights of the Temple Square are peaceful and one can wander and site on a park bench watching the fountains.
