Going on a Picnic

One of my favorite places in Salt Lake City is Liberty Park. It's the Utah equivalent to Central Park, 


featuring playgrounds,


 an Aviary, fountains,

 lakes, rides, 

pools and plenty of green space. 
I was so excited to bring my family to a place that was special to me.
We had so much fun!
Even the puppy had a great time!
There's nothing better than a picnic in the park, and when we visited Liberty Park last week, it was the perfect day.
We stayed at Staybridge Suites in West Valley City, and it was great because we had a kitchen
This way we could pack healthier, delicious lunches rather than eating out all the time. There's plenty of space to prep and store food.
Plus it was great to pop up back to the room after swimming to have a quick snack.
My family was excited to go to the park for the day.

For our picnic, I made turkey and avocado sandwiches. I love the blend of flavors and textures. 

I started with a baguette from Vosen's in downtown SLC. I added some turkey and cheese we picked up at Tony Caputos, also downtown. Both are awesome, locally owned and operated businesses. 
To round it out, I added fresh produce (lettuce, tomato & avocado) and some cooked applewood bacon. So yummy and borderline decadent. We had sparkling fruit juice, grapes and chips we picked up at the Trolley Square Whole Foods.
