Drive to Yellowstone, Boise ID, and Jackson Hole WY

Our drive to Boise, ID, not Nampa, was pretty long.  We stopped here and there and saw some cool landscapes.  It is all farm land out here, and then evenutally we saw some mountains.  We stayed in a hotel in Boise and we enjoyed the warm whether, and the hot tub.  It was nice and relaxing after the long drive.  

We went for Sushi at a Japanese Steakhouse for dinner.  It was really good, and so was the saki. The next morning, we headed out in the rain to Jackson Hole.  It was another long drive, but more to see.  There was more nice landscapes, and the drive was shorter than we though because of the time change.

We stayed at a the hostel right in Teton Village in Jackson Hole.  It was awesome.  It was a decent hostel and they had a sweet game room.  After we got back from dinner we played some fooseball and Mario Kart on N64.  It was fun.  The next day we drove through Yellowstone.  

Below are some pictures from our drive and stay.

Seattle, WA


Yay! We made it to Seattle WA.  I was very excited to be here, because we stayed with one of my best friends and her boyfriend, who just moved here.  Also, my other best friend flew out to visit us as well.  It was awesome to see them and spend some time together.  When we got here we went to dinner at a resturant that my friends boyfriend was playing Bass at.  We had some wine and listened to the Jazz music, and had a chance to catch up.  It was fun.

The next day Billy and I went to the "Experience the Music Project" and the "Sci-Fi Museum and Hall of Fame."  It was really cool.  We saw the history of Seattle music as well as the prgression of music style through the years.  We also saw lots of memorabilia from Sci-Fi movies like Ninja Turtles, ET, and Star Wars.  It was awesome. After that we went down to the Pike Place in the public market. It was may favorite part of Seattle.  It is awesome.  We had the best fruit I have ever had from one of the vendors.  We had a pear that literally melted in your mouth it was so juicy.  It was delicious. We also saw the famous gum wall.  It was crazy how much gum there was.  We added to it, and it was pretty grose.

After that we went on and adult underground tour about the scandle, drugs, gambling, and prostitution that Seattle was built on in the gold rush.  It was really interesting.  We literally went underground in the old buildings that used to be bars, speakeasies, and hotels. We had a really cool tour guide, who was really funny, and made the tour awesome.

The next morning, we picked my other friend up from the airport, and took her to the Fish Market, and the Gum wall like we did the day before.  We went to another Jazz gig of my friends boyfriends, and had a few drinks.  The next day we went to the Space Needle and the foutain in Seattle Center. It was really cool.  We also took a walk to the best view in the city.  It really is a beautiful city.  One of my favorites.  We had Japanese that night at a really good resturant, O'Shan Sushi.  It was awesome. We walked to the look out view at night and got a really great view of the city lights as well. It was really pretty.

The next two days are long drives to Nampa, and then Jackson Hole.  Our next real destination is Yellow Stone National Park in a couple days. Below are some pictures of our time in Seattle, WA.
