Mini-Road Trip around Idaho

On Saturday, me, Kyle, Shelley and Sherilyn took a little one day trip up to Idaho City, Sun Valley and some of the hot springs along the way. We had a blast just us four, definitely an experience to NEVER be forgotten. It was a rough week and I needed this much mini vacation. We left early on Saturday morning and arrived home around 2 am that same night.

We made our first stop in Idaho City to see the old graveyard there and to see some of the old buildings and sites. If you are looking for a place to see, I would recommend Idaho City, plus they have great hot springs! Along the way, we sang at the top of our lungs, played the "if" game (thanks Shelley for the idea) and ate junk food until we were sick.

The first hot springs was just outside of Lowman, so fun and so so hot! There was a cool little outhouse there just before the hot springs with a tub inside, seriously sick! We were the only ones there, what a great time we had! After that, we drove to see Stanley and Alturis Lakes, such amazing places to camp by the way. We were all starving, so we drove into Ketchum and ate Pizza and Ricos! We made one more stop at a local hot springs, just 10 miles or so outside of Sun Valley. We met some really interesting people there, this dude, his girlfriend and his 15 year old daughter. All I remember is that her name was Laurel and they were now residing in Twin Falls. We sat and laughed with them, it was a series of Jerry Springer moments, so white trash, but for a good laugh none the less.

Kyle and I laughed so much, our faces were basically hurting by 2 am we had laughed so darn much. I am so thankful for laughter and the simple pleasure it is to have it!
