Best Board Bedside Table

When traveling someone has to sleep by the wall. If there's no bedside table, you can't use a ball. So I grabbed the ironing board, a good call. A perfect height, width and length...the best of all.

When on a recent trip, I needed to put my sleeping things on a bedside table at the hotel. There wasn't one close enough. Enter the 'ironing board'. It fit nicely into the narrow space and held all the items I wanted to use. You could say I repurposed it. Yeah!!

It's In Idaho

Idaho is a pretty cool state. They have such amazing spots on their plate. We went to Downata Hot Springs. It's great! There were lots of things to do with my mate.

We have been invited to Downata before, but I imagined it to be a barren waste land with a hot spring on the property. I was mistaken. The oasis has large trees, a bird refuge, livestock, roads for four wheeling, biking, a great camp ground with lots of green grass. It has cabins, yurts and wonderful slides and pools. What's not to love?

The horse pasture allowed for interesting photo silhouettes. Cows roamed the fields. Farmers worked well into the night planting before the rains came. The icing on the cake was the warble of the sand hill cranes landing for a bite to eat. We will definitely return to this peaceful land.

Boys on a Bike

Two little boys on a bike together. Happy as can be no matter the weather. They must have someone to be safe, a tether. One's mom is Sarah the other is Heather.

We went to the Red Iguana for a birthday dinner as per our son's request. The ratings and reviews are off the charts. Besides it was featured in Diners and Dives by Guy Fiero. Because it is such a busy place our wait was an hour, but the boys didn't mind. There was plenty to play on. The only problem was the North Temple road just inches from the sidewalk. Someone had to stand guard to make sure these two little friends didn't try anything crazy. Their favorite thing was the Trax train that went by every twenty minutes.
