Sun Valley/Ketchum

It's the end of the summer and I finally am on vacation, a staycation close to home.  So yesterday Tristen, the girls, Mom, Becky, the kids and I drove in 2 separate cars to Sun Valley/Ketchum.  Everyone has always said that it was such a long drive but we made it in less than 3 hours.  It wasn't a bad drive at all.  On our way into town, we saw Trucker Troy driving in his big truck; he is working up there this week.  We then checked into our hotels and met for dinner at the lovely Perry's restaurant where we sat out on the patio.  The salmon was delicious.  The owner told us that it had just been flown in 4 hours before we got there.  It was so fresh and yummy!  Of course after dinner we had to get us a sweet treat from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory; a piece of chocolate covered cheesecake which we shared.  Talk about absolutely divine!  We had a nice hotel which made us feel like we were in the woods. I think we slept rather well given that there were 5 of us in a room.  Bridget did wake up a  few times and of course they didn't let us sleep past 7. 

This morning we had a very pleasant breakfast recommended by Grandma Betty.  The Kneadery made us feel like we were in the woods with all of the animals.  The food was again amazing and filled us up for the day.  We met Becky and the boys and walked around town taking pictures and enjoying the sights and sounds of Sun Valley.

We could see the ski lift waiting for snow.
