Sunday in Idaho

Ok, some catch-up - we had a wonderful day on Saturday, Vicki and Bill took us to those places that only those who live here would see. We had a great breakfast here at the house then headed out to Swan Valley a great little small town and by the World Famous Square Ice Cream. Through Victor, and Alpine and to Driggs. The Grand Tetons were a backdrop for most of this ride and all of these towns would be fun to live near. The Tetons still have some snow and just looking at it makes the day seem cooler. Driggs is a very cute little town and I think Ric and I are going to look at property around this area. We also went through Afton Wyoming where their little dog "Afton" was found. Will have to get him to pose and get you all a picture.
We went to Jackson Hole - quite a tourist town but really cute with gate entrances made all of antlers. We drove by the Cowboy bar which looked like fun and then to Moose, Wyoming to Dornan's and ate a Buffalo berger and were joined by Vicki's sister Diane and her husband Kent. Sat outside in the shade and had a great time visiting with them.
We saw sleeping Indian Mountain and these great elk and a cute little red fox whose tongue was hanging out from running.
At Moose Junction we encountered these buffalo in a nice little herd and a bald eagle sitting in a tree following the Snake river, Through the Pallisades and around every curve was just mor
e beauty.

Bill and Vicki have 2 cats Baettis and Caeddis - too cute and fun to snuggle with!

















Sunday - we went to Idaho Falls and ate at the Brownstoner - excellent turkey cranberry sandwich, Ric had the French dip and some of their raspberry bar-b-que sauce! Wow have to try to make some of that! And Vicki had a fantastic spinach salad with pears and blue cheese.
We then walked across the street to the Idaho Falls greenway and took these shots of the river which has been dammed up parallel to the shore - it is just a wonder!

We saw Idaho Falls the town which is really growing and visited Wal Mart which had a fly shop inside!


Idaho Falls has been a great visit and we hate to leave in the morning but Seattle and the train are calling. We are doing to head up the west side of Idaho to Spokane and will spend Tuesday and Wednesday night in Seattle and then be on the train home on Thursday.

Nosy Parker here, wondering who Vicki & Bill are. Is this the Ike/Ric thing? The scenery is breathtaking. And to think that you HAVE to live where there is snow. I liked the idea of the town in Idaho where it didn't snow, know it couldn't be that far from it when I wanted it. Sounds like you two are honing in on your 'true' home. love oodies L, J & the furred & feathered ones (the toads don't join in-sigh)
