We went to Sun Valley, Idaho over the 4th weekend. What a beautiful place!! It is this little town nestled in the mountains. Jake's family use to go and his parents recommended it to us. This was our very first trip just us! I know, hard to believe. Why, you ask? Well we usually go on trips with friends. Like 7 day cruises and Mexico beach house trips, which are a blast. It was strange not having like 12 of our best friends with us, but we REALLY enjoyed ourselves. We went fishing (I cought like 5 fish!) I felt terrible every time too. How would you like to be swimming along, minding your own business "just keep swimming just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming" when all of the sudden you PIERCED in the lip with a huge ole hook!! Once, a poor fishy was caught through his eye ball. And it didn't help that I was reeling in so hard. I probably pulled his eyeball out. Jake was sweet enough to pull all the hooks out of the fish...well he was probably actually worried I would tear the fish apart if I did it!! We also went horseback riding. WOW. It was seriously beautiful. The trail led to the top of a mountain and you could see ALL around. It was breathtaking. I loved it. I didn't want it to end. Jake and I were bad and kicked our horses a couple times (the command to trot) so we got to trot with them. Another cool thing about Sun Valley is that all the restaurants are local. They don't let any fast food stores in, or chain restaurants. So every restaurant was a new experience and let me tell you, the food was amazing. The first restaurant we went to was really nice, and we were a little uncomfortable. I mean, people were dressed nicer and everyone was ordering really expensive bottles of wine. We had on jeans and t shirts. But it was still fun. Two things I learned that night:

1- When your husband gives you a bite of his food, DO NOT immediately spit it back out onto your plate because it's hot. It embarasses him and other people think you are 2 years old.

2- The little jar of Sour Patch Kids that are sitting next to the waitress' check out computer ARE NOT for guests. DO NOT help yourself. The waitresses will give you the stink eye.

All in all, we had an amazing time and hope to go back soon.
