Our Trip to Sun Valley Idaho

Rog and I at Red Fish Lake This is the pond in front of our Lodge at Sun Valley
We're dreaming about bringing our family here some time and staying in this campground.
This is our hotel called Sun Valley Lodge
This lady is one of about 5 artists that were capturing the beauty of Red Fish on canvas
I'm on a walk around the pathways at our hotel. All the ponds had swans in them.



Roger and I were so fortunate to have been able to get away this week. His work had a work conference in Sun Valley Idaho so the vacation getaway was on the city.
We left on Tues. morning and got home today Saturday. We stayed at the beautiful Sun Valley Lodge. The weather was quite chilly when we got there. Only 48 degrees. I had to put my hooded sweatshirt on to keep warm.
While Rog spent 4-5 hours a day in meetings I exercised in the weight room and another day I walked on the trail near the hotel. It was a brisk walk since it was kinda chilly. But the hour I spent outside was beautiful.
Our hotel was so pretty. The pond in front had swans and little babies. Our window overlooked a huge year round ice skating rink. The leaves were starting to turn colors so it just made it more colorful.
When he wasn't in meetings we did a little shopping and one day we drove up to Red Fish Lake which is absolutely beautiful. We rode our bikes around part of the lake while we were there. There were several artists sitting in various spots around the lake creating beautiful oil paintings. The mountain range was awesome to look at.
Red Fish Lake is only an hour north of Sun Valley and well worth the drive. Some day we'd like to take the trailer there and camp. It's so hard to see all of these places without our kids. The pictures don't do it justice that's for sure.
We found a really good Mexican restaurant about 16 miles south of Sun Valley and we drove to that twice while we were there. It was that good. My brother Jim had recommended it and it was well worth the drive too.
We had such a nice time but I'm always anxious to get home. That many days away from my home and family is a little hard for me. Roger said we need to get used to it because that's what we're going to be doing when we retire. (oh no!! what am I going to do?)
Anyway, here are a few pictures of our trip.
P.S. ...a big THANKS to Kori and Troy for watching our 5 dogs!!! I don't know what we would have done without them!!!
