Sun Valley

LOVE myself a fantastic recharge weekend! Nate had yet another Idaho Defense Council Conference and this year it was in beautiful Sun Valley. Every year we switch between McCall and Sun Valley but 2 years ago I couldn't join him because the boys and I chose to go down and see The Lion King instead with EE.

It's hard to believe that I have never in my entire life been to Sun Valley. We only live about 2 hours and 20 minutes away from here so now that we live so close there is NO excuse. Especially now that I know how GREAT it is!!

We stayed in the BEAUTIFUL Sun Valley Inn. 

 The flowers all over the grounds were just to die for!

While Nate was in the conference baby and I had fun hanging out together and checking out the town. We searched the small town until we found a video rental store. Downton Abbey Season 2. Ahhh yeah baby! We're all caught up now!

We went out to dinner with one of Nate's partners and a very fancy schmancy restaurant. LUCKILY Anna just fell asleep as soon as we got there. It wasn't shall we say...a very baby friendly kind of place! She was an angel all weekend actually. She came to one of the luncheons and was doted on by all of the old attorneys and their wives. It was really fun. ☺ My husband works at a great family friendly law firm. It is AMAZING to see how much they care about my husband and how much they actually care about US....his family. No words to describe how much that means to me.

Saturday we did some exploring. We went hiking along the river. Went for a drive up into the mountains, and checked out Hemmingway's grave and memorial.

We also did some shopping downtown and enjoyed some delicious treats along the way.

This European peach pastry was D. LISH.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Apple. YUM!

He left his bike at home this trip (which was very kind of him) but was MISSING her the entire time! I told him he could bring her along next time.

Saturday evening was the formal night. I opted not to go because the dinner didn't even start until 7:30. It was a really good call because Anna was SUPER fussy that night. It would have been a nightmare. It's just a big drunk fest anyway so I wasn't too sad to miss out on the festivities. Although watching all of the drunk peeps dance is always great entertainment. Beautiful breathtaking surroundings, delish food, sweetheart holding my hand, and our beautiful baby at our side. Pretty picture perfect. Needed this weekend. Feeling blessed and so thankful.

THANK YOU to James and Sierra for meeting up with us along the way and taking the boys for the weekend! They had so much fun spending time in Twin Falls. We owe them BIG time!
