We slept much better our 2nd night at the hotel and took our time getting ready until it was time to check out and say goodbye to our hotel.
We had looked up restaurant possibilities for breakfast and decided to check out The Park restaurant. It was Wednesday morning and super busy so that seemed like a good sign. We were all thoroughly pleased with our food and just kept raving about this place and how we'll gave to go back there again.
This is our happy, post-breakfast self-portrait with the restaurant behind us.
Landon ate himself silly and experienced some happy regret.
We decided to walk across the street to check out Liberty Park and discovered Tracy Aviary is right there as well. We had never been there before, so we decided to give it a whirl.
The grounds were lovely and the weather was warm and breezy so it was a good place to wander while trying to recover from breakfast.
Whitney fell in love with this amusing Keel-Billed Toucan and has decided she will have one as a pet when she is older!
After walking around for awhile we found a delightfully shady bench to rest upon. It was here that I informed my family I that when I die I would like a bench to donated in my name someplace wonderful and shady since I am an avid, shady-bench appreciator.
Whitney got tired of sitting on the shady bench (silly girl) and went over to talk to an owl who was trying to get some sleep (they're nocturnal you know). After standing there talking to it and suggesting it do some tricks, the owl opened its eyes looked at her and turned its body around! She was officially dissed by an owl!!
This is just funny right?
After the aviary we walked around Liberty Park for a bit and enjoyed the gorgeous day. It was an excellent ending to our spring break activities.

This looks like such a fun trip. I have been telling Jason I want to do something like this also. All of these things we have never done and it's plain silly. While my sister was living in Australia, she had people tell her that they were or are saving years hoping to make it to Salt Lake City to see Temple Square. I live an hour away and don't take advantage of everything. Shameful I tell you.
I am so glad you could get away and enjoy your time off. Hopefully you have a creative Friday planned for today.
Luci would love a pet Toucan as well!
What in the world is on that plate with the sandwhich and orange slice?!
This looks like a very enjoyable spring break.
Natasha, they're potatoes, sort of a home fries/hashbrown mixture which was awesome!
It sounds like a much better night and a great breakfast! Love the post-breakfast self-portrait.
I'm cracking up about the toucan, especially because I'm thinking about Whitney's paper pet version. Max immediately wanted to know if anyone had a bird alight on their heads.
I'm also cracking up envisioning you telling your family about your wishes for a posthumous shady bench. And the shady bench label. You are a true fan.
