SLC Farmers Market at Historic Pioneer Square

We got up early to go downtown to the Downtown Farmers Market. It just opened a couple of weekends ago, and it's rather early in the growing season here. We had read good things about it on the web, and it was all we expected. A large section is devoted to local produce, much of it organic, and other food items. We spent most of our time in this part. When we finished making our selections, we bought a mini strawberry and raspberry pie with whipped cream and sat down in the "food court" section to enjoy it.


After stashing our purchases in insulated bags in the truck, we walked to The Gateway--a large downtown outdoor mall. We went first to Dicks Sporting Goods but didn't find any of the things we're looking for.

Then we went to the Apple Store to join the crowds of people excitedly checking out all the cool Apple products. We'd get an iPhone 4 in a heartbeat if they had Verizon service plans. The FaceTime video phone call was really impressive, as were the remarkably clear print and graphics. Handling the iPhone really brings home how much heavier and thicker our Droids are... And if money were no object, we'd both get iPads and MacBook Pro 13" laptops.

Back to the real world. We drove to the Whole Food market and picked up some groceries before heading home.

Back at home, we decided to do our laundry, and since the swimming pool is adjacent, we took a dip while the clothes were washing.
