Jeff and Sabrina picked us up this morning for a trip to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium south of Salt Lake City. It's a smaller aquarium, but has some unique and interesting exhibits. When we arrived it was almost time for the next showing of a 4D movie called "The Last Reef." The 4D Theater shows movies in 3D, plus scents, wind, mist, and movement. The mist definitely impressed the kids in the audience! The reef program was well done, colorful and educational, and a plea for saving the world's reefs from ocean acidification.
Some of the highlights of the exhibits include an area devoted to Utah wildlife, including three active, playful river otters, and a colony of Gentoo Penguins in the Antarctic Adventure area.
After we left the aquarium, Jeff drove to Park City to the Wasatch Brew Pub. He likes Wasatch beers and had heard good things about this brew pub.We all enjoyed our meals and the beers we tried. Jeff and Sabrina both enjoyed the Jalapeno Creme Ale. Ken and I preferred the Evolution Amber Ale.
It was hailing lightly when we were walking into the restaurant, and a heavy storm raged outside for a few minutes, but the sun came out again. Sabrina drove home, partly through another heavy storm, but the sun broke through and displayed a double rainbow.
