Day 6 - From Salt Lake City to Twin Falls, Idaho

 Wednesday, July 31, 2024


As we left Salt Lake City, Sky shared reflections and memories of the 2 years she spent at residential school in Layton, just 20 minutes from SLC. IFYKYK



It only took three hours to go from Salt Lake City to Twin Falls in Idaho. It was a really pretty drive. I did read that it can be treacherous in the winter and dust winds can make things hairy too. We were so lucky that we had clear skies and smooth roads.



I can't recommend Twin Falls enough. It's beautiful. We headed straight for the Visitor Center because the website indicated that it had one of the best views in the entire state. It was really something. 




It was really windy!


It was a great time for Suki and Salem to get some air and grass under their feet. At first, Suki did not want to get out of her carrier. Sky called her a diva and we put her on the grass. If I didn't know any better, she started posing for the camera... 





Living that hotel life.

      Hey Marilena! This is Snake River. There are waterfalls somewhere but we didn't have time to explore. I definitely want to go back and spend more time there one day.

Day 4- Des Moines, Iowa and on to Denver, Colorado

Image
Monday, July 29, 2024 We arrived in Des Moines on Sunday and realized quickly that most businesses are closed except for a few restaurants and grocery stores. Not going to lie, it felt a little eerie... hardly anyone was outside and it felt like a ghost town.  We did see a really cool sculpture garden before we left super early in the morning for Denver, Colorado. It was about a 9 hour drive (took a break every 3 hours), so we didn't get to see or do much in Denver.  Des Moines "Inhale Exhale"  Des Moines Sculpture Garden  See... No one around... scary... We found a place to eat! It was lunch and dinner- LINNER! Chicken and Waffles, Cajun Pasta, Chocolate Bread Pudding and Hummingbird Cake + A bread basket! This lasted 2 days!  On the Road to Denver, Colorado!

Day 7, 8, 9 - Met up with Mom and Dad

  Thursday, August 1 - Saturday, August 3 On our way through Oregon, we noticed the sky was hazy and there were a few road rerouting situations. There was a major wildfire happening within a National Forest not too far away. In fact, we realized that the smokiness and poor air quality alert in Salt Lake City was a result of the same forest fire.  Hazy wildfire smoke Pretty Trees Picture doesn't do it justice, but this is the Columbia River. We drove along this for a long time and it was just breathtaking.  I look a mess! lol but we made it to Salem, Oregon to connect with my parents.  My dad digging in to the "Accidental Omelette".  If you're ever in Salem, OR, head to "Word of Mouth Cafe" They have the best breakfast food - all the breads are made from scratch on the premises and what a creative menu! I didn't take pictures of the interior but there is a lot of character and charm.  Portland Oregon!  Ice cream for dinner with mom and dad. Pearl Distri...
