Don't go too far
The hip word of the moment - that moment being when you notice your kids' tuition is going down your gas tank - is "stay-cation."
It's the notion that instead of driving long distances for your vacation and spending tons of money on $4-a-gallon gasoline, you can have just as much fun staying close to home.
The Tribune's Tom Wharton compiled a list of Wasatch Front attractions that would make good "stay-cation" destinations - from Gardner Village in West Jordan to Trafalga in Orem (with Thanksgiving Point's Museum of Ancient Life, pictured, somewhere in the middle).
Meanwhile, KSL has found some good news in high gas prices: Utah arts organizations may benefit from people staying closer to home. For example, the Utah Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City is reporting a 5 percent rise in ticket sales compared to last year.
