Salt Lake City

First things first, had my car washed this morning.  It had been sitting outside for 4 weeks in Minneapolis and I had now driven thru rain and dust and  I could not see out of any of  windows!!

about Olympic Legacy Plaza Snowflake Fountain:

Get ready to get wet! This fountain is hard to resist. Kids of all ages (even parents) play in this fountain, and it's a great way to cool off in the summer months.

A large stone version of the snowflake logo from the 2002 Winter Olympics forms the shape of a ground-level fountain, which features shooting jets of water synchronized to the Olympic theme and other music. The 'water dance' goes off every 30 minutes, for 10 minutes at a stretch, though the times in between are just as much fun. On very sunny days, you can see a rainbow through the jets of water.

You'll find plenty of space to sit (and stay dry), and you can also check out the nearby Wall of Honor, which lists the 27,000 volunteers from the 2002 Winter Olympics. 

This area is in the Gateway Shopping Center which is behind the renovated Salt Lake City Union Pacific Railroad Station.  The shopping center is quite unique with several levels and wandering streets.  There is also a day spa that has a fairly large gym with exercise equipment.  I even managed to get a manicure while I was in there.
