Our Trip to Idaho

Brent and I were in need of a vacation without the children. Our friends Donnie and Rene' were kind enough to watch the girls for 4 days while we took a trip. We miss the mountains so we wanted to take a trip back west. Neither of us had been to Idaho except Bear Lake so we decided we would try some place new. We flew into Boise which is called "The city of Trees." It was very green and there are trees everywhere! The weather was in the 70's and 80's and not a hint of humidity in the air. We saw 4 different Temples on our trip as well. They are all so beautiful! It felt like we were in Utah but on a smaller scale which was nice. I told Brent that we were only 30 minutes away from the Oregon border and that I wanted to drive to the border so I can say I've been there. Well.......he promised to take me to Oregon another time. I'm looking forward to it.
We met up with friends of ours, Ben and Laura Harmer who live in the Boise area. Brent and Ben went to Law School together here in Dallas and we haven't seen them since. It was great to spend time with them. They haven't changed a bit!
Brent and I drove to Idaho Falls as well and our Hotel was right on the Snake River. (We have both been canoeing on this river but not on this trip. That was when we were much younger and it is a dream for Brent to do it again!) When we went into our hotel room we looked out the window and there on the other side of the river was the Idaho Falls Temple. It was gorgeous! We could not have had a better view! We took a walk along the river where the waterfalls were. It was peaceful and relaxing! But that was about all we liked of Idaho Falls. From what we saw of Idaho, we really like Boise the most! It was a great vacation and so nice for us to give our full attention to each other. We need that every once in a while!
