We made it!

It took 8.5 hours (not to mention the 5 hours from Seattle that it took to get to Spokane) but we finally made it to Idaho Falls.  It is really beautiful weather here.  When we arrived it was in the 80's and in just a few hours a HUGE thunder storm rolled in.  The storm lasted about 30 minutes and in another 20 minutes it was 80 degrees and sunny again.  I love thunder storms so it was a pretty great arrival.  

We made a list of everything we want to do while we are here:
- See a buffalo
- See a grizzly bear
- Yellowstone
- Go to the Idaho Falls Zoo
- Idaho Falls Museum (there is supposed to be a Space exhibit)
- Swim every day
- Read Harry Potter 
- Read Harry Potter in the sun and then jump in the pool. 
- Fitness Center
- See a waterfall (we saw one today and changed this to...)
- See a tall waterfall
- Huckleberry Milkshake Tour (oh, yes, that is a real thing)
- Find cowboy hats
- Walk/run on the river trail
- Sit on a bench by the river trail and read (Harry Potter)
- Go to the outdoor pool in Pocatello (we'll see as that is a 50 minute drive)
- Eat lunch outside w/ a cold beer (or other non-alcoholic special drink)


I think that about covers it!
