ROAD TRIP

I took Tuesday off and Tony and I left for Twin Falls so he could sign the books for Eastern Idaho. We got away about 9:30 by the time we filled the car with gas, and we arrived in Twin about 11:30 AM. We went immediately to the Union Hall and he signed in. It doesn't look quite as bleak as Boise but there are still around 100 on Book One and around 50 on Book Two. We'll see what happens....... He is now eligible for Twin Falls, Idaho Falls and Pocatello area's as well as Boise area.
Since we made the trip down we decided to make a day of it and do some sight seeing. We hadn't seen the new Twin Falls Temple so we went there 1st. It is beautiful. The grounds are immaculate and the flowers were lovely. The weather was absolutely perfect. It was high 70's, no wind and sunny!
We then went to the Shoshone Falls and it was the 1st time I've seen them with the complete Spring Runoff! It was spectacular! I even got the rainbow!

We walked up a path to a higher vantage point so got a nice shot of the entire Falls!

These Falls are BIG!! But this chubby couple almost blocks them out entirely! LOL

One of the many beautiful sights our lovely State of Idaho, has to offer!!

We also went up the road to the small park and swimming area. We need to make a trip here in the summer! It is so calm and serene! If I had brought my suit, I'd have gone swimming!.............NOT! LOL
Below is a video of the falls. Just to give you an idea of it's magnificence!!
We then went to an Italian Grill called "Tomato's" and had lunch and drove back to Boise. It was 5:30 when we arrived home so we immediately drove to a couple's home that we home and visit teach. After visiting with them for a bit we came home and Tony completed his on line application for work overseas. Now we wait and see what happens...... We'll keep ya'll posted!

I remember going to that swimming hole when we were younger- and when I probably didn't mind being in a bathing suit! Sounds like a good day, other then the fact that you went there in search of work for Tony!
