Artsy Chaos

If you're in Utah, near Utah or want to visit Utah, please check out my guest post over at Enjoy Utah! .  It's all about Millers Flat, a beautiful area about 2 hours south of Salt Lake City. Utah mountains are beautiful!

This one gets a thumbs down. It all started because we wanted to go camping. The rain, cold and yuck has just been terrible this year, seemingly never ending. Since it was forecasted to be sunny last weekend it seemed like a natural progression. Oh, how we were wrong. We prefer going camping in the mountains and enjoying the beautiful scenery. However, because of the rain, cold and general yuck that is lingering, we still have 20 foot snow drifts in our mountain camping spots. Not a good recipe for camping in a tent. With that in mind, we decided to venture out to the West Desert and The Pony Express Trail. Someplace warmer and also someplace new to us. The scenery is... well.... barren and the vibe is... weird out there. No wonder all the UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists congregate out there by Dugway. Much of the property is owned by the military and there are strange bunkers, patrolled dirt roads and signs every 10 feet that declare they'll shoot if necessary. ...

Do your little ones love bounce houses, arcade games and slides?  Are you in Utah County?  Because this is one great deal for kids and parents!  Today 2/18 through 2/20 you can get $10 to Monkey Island in Lehi for $5 at Screamin Daily Deals .  That's half price!!  Plus, Monkey Island has free wi-fi for parents too.  It's a win-win.   Don't forget too... Screamin Daily Deals has bargains in Chicagoland and Cali!

Sorry all, this one is for locals only.  Lucky locals!! Tomorrow's Screamin' Daily Deal (1/28) is for Soldier Hollow's tubing hills.  You can get $10 for $5.  Basically, a 2-hour session for anyone over the age of 7 is $20 so you will need to buy 2 deals for one ticket essentially making a 2-hour session only $10!!  Half price!!  I bet this one will go fast.  To see the deals click on the box in the left sidebar or go HERE . My daughter did this recently with a group of friends and had a great time.  She had such a good time she ripped out the inner leg seams of her snow pants!  Oh, wait, maybe that's a bad thing!  They also use a lift at Soldier Hollow so you don't have to lug your tube back up the snow hill.  Perfect for us out of shape people!! :) To learn more about Soldier Hollow if you haven't been, click HERE .  I believe they also offer cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.  There are also a ton of great Bed & Bre...
