Sun Valley Seranade!

Austin and I needed a short get away, so I told him, let me take you to Sun Valley, and trust me you will love it. For those of you who don't know, my family went to Sun Valley a lot growing up. This is the first time I spent much time out of the actual resort. Besides the usual (bowling at the Lodge, catching a movie, walking around the shops, ice skating, Gretchen's, and swimming in the heated "bowls") we spend most of our time exploring Ketchum, Hailey, and almost the whole Wood River Valley. If I could go back with my family again, I would take them to where the locals go because we had a blast.

So many great memories!! Sun Valley was always my favorite in the fall. Lots of Gretchen's Hot chocolate. The Silver Creek Nature Preserve photo is pretty darn amazing. Nothing says Tanya Harding like Sun Valley ice-skating. I am jealous - next time family reunion?
