Start: Rock Springs, WY
End: Twin Falls, ID
Miles: 365
Mountains, mountains everywhere! It was a beautiful day for a long drive through some amazingly beautiful mountains. After showering and finding out that wet hair freezes when it's less than 10 degrees outside, we decided to eat some breakfast at IHop, where it took four cups of coffee to warm me back up. Balian had a Nutella and banana crepe, which was very very good (Mommy stole a couple of bites...). Then it was off into the wilderness for another 356 miles interstate travel. We stopped for a rest break in Ogden, Utah after crossing some very beautiful mountains. Instead of eating lunch, we walked around Target, FYE, and Petsmart. Balian fell in love with the guinea pigs and the parakeets! It was also Scotty's first time in a store like that, and he had a good time and received a few treats for being a good boy! Starbucks was right beside the exit, so we stopped in for a couple of coffees and scones (pumpkin!!). Then it was back on the road for another 175 miles. I have decided that Utah is now my number one favorite state, and am convinced that the further west you drive, the more beautiful this country becomes. Utah has the best of everything, plains, mountains, even beach (alongside the Salt Lake, which was completely frozen over). Idaho is just as pretty, especially at sunset. We came to the town of Twin Falls after sunset, crossing over a vast canyon to get to the city. We stopped at the hotel and ate a quick bite, then went to Barnes and Noble to walk around for a bit. Balian loves that place almost as much as his momma does. Upon walking through the door, he sighted an Angry Birds set up, and rushed over saying, "angry birds! angry birds!" He then proceeded to pick up and carry every stuffed animal he could possibly get his little hands on.
Tomorrow we're going to visit a waterfall and a canyon, then head further north to La Grande, Oregon for our third to last stop. Until then!
