MORE THAN POTATOES

What is the first thing you think of when I mention Idaho? Well, I'm here to tell you this state has more than just good potatoes.

Well, at least in Boise. It is a super charming city for me.

It might be because it is so artsy.

 I'm a sucker for cool street art.

Even the electrical boxes around town are decorated.

Apparently, it is the birthplace of Albertson's Supermarkets.

It is also the home of some super yummy food (featured on the television show Man vs Food). 

The Flying Pie Pizzeria might be THE best pizza I have ever had.

The city also hosts a fun farmer's market every Saturday starting in April

where you can buy awesome local food and goods.

Plan a trip to Boise if you haven't already been and walk around the super fun city.

BFFriends

Sometimes you learn your BFF from high school has moved closer to you and you get to go visit her and her cute little family.

Sometimes that meeting includes the world's largest hamburger (don't actually check the record books and quote me on this one) at Famous Jud's in Boise.

Then you go to the local nature center and let her children take about 179 photos of flowers 

 and bugs with your cell phone camera.

 and then you end the whole trip with a photo with giant antlers. 

Now that is true friendship. Love you, Danae.

IDAhoser

I had the opportunity to spend a few days in Idaho.

I hopped on a super sketchy greyhound bus and a few hours later I was in Boise.

Boise is actually a super charming city.

It's full of creative food (including fries),

fun buildings, entertainment,

graffiti art,

places to hike with great views,

summer Saturday markets outside the capitol building, 

and so much more.

So if you're looking for a super fabulous quick getaway, consider exploring Idaho.
