My Trip to Hide-A-Ho

I made a trip to Idaho or as Kammy would say "Hide-a-Ho" for 4 days this last week. I had never been before and was excited to see a new state. My friend Christina asked me to go with her and so we made it a girl/road trip. No kids.....No husbands......it was an exciting adventure........She has family there and so we were able to stay with them. We made it to Idaho and back on $50....probably the cheapest road trip EVER!! We were very proud of our thrifty selves!!
We did the typical girly road trip things....like rock out to 80's music and sing at the top of our lungs...with no fear of our kids plugging their ears and telling us we sound bad. We ate whatever we felt like, whenever we felt like....and answered to no one. If we wanted an Oreo Cookie milkshake from Jack in the Box at 10pm.....we went out to get one....but then also turned it into a Ghost Hunters episode (which BTW we watched for hours almost scaring ourselves to death), finding our own haunted house and exploring it while I being the chicken one almost peed my pants!!

I was most impressed with my ability to legally go 80mph!!! All of you know that I was born with a lead foot....it must be inherited from my motorcycle racing daddy who I KNOW has speed flowing through his veins. So what a joyous day for me to cross over to the Idaho border and see a 75mph speed limit!! YAHOOOOOOOO

We were also able to visit the Boise Temple. Unfortunately it was closed for cleaning so we were unable to go inside...but we walked around the outside...it definitely was a beautiful sight.


This is another picture of the Boise Temple...just me trying to be a creative photographer catching the sun between the spires. It truly was a beautiful day.
I enjoyed my trip immensely. Whether it was exploring a new place....getting to know a friend better.....or just having a moment to myself that was so desperately needed.....I can't wait to go back.
