We took the girls on a little day adventure yesterday. It was spur of the moment, as I was cooking chocolate chip waffles for them, that I decided we should get out of the house, and go enjoy the beautiful spring weather. Fortunately, living in Idaho, there is an abundance of 'outdoorsy' things to do, all within a very short drive.
For this adventure, we decided to head up to Idaho City. It is a tiny town about 40 miles outside of Boise in the mountains. It used to be an old mining town, but now only boasts a population of a whopping 480 (ish). It has a small historic downtown area, sort of a ghost town type of thing, with a few restaurants, bars and that's about it. There's a place called Trudy's that is supposed to have really good pie- we WERE going to check it out, but the girls all decided on ice cream...so we had ice cream instead... :)
We packed little bagged lunches for everyone and in about an hour we were there. Within about 2 hours we had seen all there was to see and had our lunches and ice cream. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to taking another outdoor adventure soon!! :)
