Sightseeing
Temple Square is a great place to visit even if you are not religious. People are welcoming but not overbearing as some expect. Enjoy the architecture, take a tour of the conference center, and don't miss the fun and interactive family history library. I learned I was related to Walt Disney! You can catch the Tabernacle Choir Sundays at 9am for their taping of Music and the Spoken Word (not religious at all!).
