extended road trip

well that is what my Dad kept calling it. We took off this past weekend with my family and headed to Island Park. Once we got there it was a pretty fantastic trip, getting there was a long journey...mostly because I kept having serious stomach attacks/pains/spasms/pain! Don't worry though with the help of my gastroenterologist it'll be okay. We stayed at a wonderful cabin, it was so much nicer than a hotel cause we actually got to cook our food. Upon arrival Jess found an original nintendo, that's right I said original, inside so we spent some time revisiting childhood while we waited for Mark, Mike & Miles to join us. All three of them had to work late so they joined us later. Saturday we floated one of the rivers up there, it was fantastic! My mom had never floated a river before, I just couldn't believe it. Other than few times of my rear end being introduced to rocks it was a fantastic trip. That afternoon we headed up to Big Springs were we walked the nature path up to the actual spring, it was so pretty and they really did have huge fish there...no fishing aloud in the spring. That night we went to Les Miserables at Mack's Inn Playhouse, it was hilarious. I can't wait to see what they preform next year, hopefully we can go again. The cabin had a fire pit so we decided to build a fire that night and roast marshmallows and starbursts, it was at this point we realized we hadn't sat around a campfire all summer...how sad is that! Sunday we got up and decided to visit what we thought was called satellite hill, well that isn't the name & I can't remember the real name but it was awesome. There was giant radar tower on top that they use to track stuff for air travel, it was pretty awesome. The view was also amazing! After a quick lunch we had to head home, but not without one final tourist stop. Mesa Falls, amazingly beautiful! And thus ended our extended road trip!
