 And we topped off my weekend with perhaps my new favorite "Close to home" hangout spot. We grabbed Subway lunches for a picnic and headed to Glen Park in Highland to catch some rays and swim! There's a natural fed Spring pond right behind Lone Peak High school that is just the perfect temperature and great size! There were kids kayaking (or other small boats and things like stand up paddle boards) They have lots of nice trails and paths around the area (pretty sure it connects to the Murdock Canal biking trail), 3-4 docks for standing and fishing off of, and there's a great little swimming area. Dogs are even allowed (but must stay on leashed.. i think they're pretty strict about this) Water feels great! All in all its a pretty nice stop for being close to my house. I can't wait to take the boys for a run around the pond and then hop in to cool off!

(Water bottles are NOT cheap at the airport my friends) While I've traveled with many different KINDS of waterbottles, it all comes down to the Nalgene for the win on pricepoint, DURABILITY, and most key of all- being able to clip it to your pack/ purse/ etc. so you never leave it behind. Check out the colors and option...
