Our Latest Trip to Boise, Idaho

Wayne looking down into the reservoir.

The famous Boise chicken....well maybe not famous, but well known....well maybe not well known but of interest to us.

Wayne and I started out our married life together in Boise Idaho. We loved it there because it had a gazillion maple and fruit trees, wonderful parks and museums, skiing just a few miles north and swimming just 10 minutes from downtown. A river runs right through the town and there are bike and hiking paths that run everywhere. The air is clear...no industrial pollution, and the downtown has been redone with shopping, museums, and lots of restaurants. It's clean, diverse, and a fun place to be. So why am I not still there ??? I don't know, except it was a 13 hour drive to see our parents and when it was hot in the summer, it was REALLY hot...... lots of days in the 100's. We met some great people that we will remember forever, but we had an even greater life in Montana and now in Utah. We went back two weeks ago for one of Wayne's business trips and drove to the places we used to haunt. It was a fun look back. We lived by a little restaurant that had a giant chicken on top and 37 years later, it's still there. See, you can go home. We have had an inside joke about it for all these years so I just had to take a picture.

There are subdivisions that have the most incedible landscaping I have ever seen. Almost every subdivision in the newer Eagle area is breathtakingly beautiful.

This is a crazy tree growing by this house. I don't even know what it is, but I loved seeing all the different vegetation everywhere.

Lucky Peak Reservoir is the place we used to go to swim and soak up the rays. I stood in front of the dam this time and it was so loud that I couldn't even hear myself talk. Much quieter behind the dam, but this is fun to watch.

Almost every home we went to in the newer areas around Eagle had some type of water feature.
