Well, spring break is finally here. But it is Idaho, so what else would we expect but rain, snow, wind and COLD! Tob and I had a hard time trying to decide what to do for the break because we both had work off for the whole week, or so we thought. I didnt have to work at all, but Tobin ended up working monday, wednesday, today (thursday) and he has to work saturday too. TOTAL BUMMER! We originally planned to go to Vegas with some friends until they couldn't get work off, and then the price of the hotel we were going to stay at went way up before we ever booked it. Anyway, after considering a few other options and thought we had a different plan is when Tobin found out he had to work. So we ended up just going to Jackson Hole monday afternoon. We woke up to about 3 inches of new snow so we were a little worried for the drive, but had already booked a hotel so we thought we better go anyway! We took off after Tob got off work around noon, and the drive was great! No snow from Blackfoot until we got to the Teton pass. Even though we were about THE ONLY car without 4 wheel drive, we made it up the snowy pass without too many problems, even if we only could go about 30 mph the whole way up. We were able to check into our hotel a little early, then we went and walked around town, and did some shopping.
Then we decided instead of going out to dinner, we would just get something from the grocery store and cook it in our hotel... yes, thats right. We had a full kitchen in our room! It was really like a condo, and we had anything and everything we would need to make dinner. So, we went to the store and ended up just getting some frozen pizza, pop and went back and just chilled. We also had a pretty nice fireplace in our room so we had a fire, ate dinner and watched a movie! It was so nice to relax and then we got to go swimming and play some ping pong at the club house. On tuesday we wanted to go up to Jenny Lake, but the gate was closed inside Teton National Park so, we just went for a drive and loved the beautiful snowy mountains and trees.We then headed back towards Idaho Falls and braved the Teton Pass again. It was not as bad as the day before, and it was a beautiful drive. We were able to drive a lot faster than we did on monday, but we kept slowing way down to take some pictures. Good thing there wasn't anybody close behind!
We made it to IF and hit up the great clearance deals at all the stores. We were able to go to dinner, then meet Sterling and Sarah at the Temple to do a session. Since we had already had dinner, we went with them when they went to dinner, and we got some dessert! We had a great time and although it was a quick 2 day trip we enjoyed it.
We also went to some friends for dinner yesterday, had some fabulous food, and got to play rock band, which was my first time and VERY entertaining! The rest of the week should be pretty good, and chill but then its back to school next week... But good news, I did finish my radiographic physics class! We had our final last friday, and my other physics class, medical electronics, will be done the week after spring break!
