Sun Valley, ID

Since I have been saying Sun Valley for so long I guess I will keep it up but really we went to go visit Justin & Amber in Ketchum, ID.  Sun Valley is the resort that is outside the little ski town.  But whatever it is called; we had a BLAST!!  John and I flew into Boise, ID and set out through miles and miles of farm land covered in snow with mountains as the backdrop.  It was beautiful.  I enjoyed coming from Boise because it kind of gave me an idea of place.  We arrived at Justin & Amber's house and it was at the base of a mountain, in the middle of nowhere and snowing.  It was awesome!  
View from the front yard
Their backyard
The manual labor that goes into living out there is crazy.  Chops his own wood for his wood burning oven...
Snowing 
The town of Ketchum, ID
Favorite wine bar
We enjoyed a yummy cheese tray
Justin & I gearing up to go skiing.  I was so glad that we went because I loved it.  It had been years since I skied and we skied for two days and it really made me want to plan more ski trips in the future.
We took a drive up to the Sawtooth Mountain range.  It wouldn't be a trip with Justin & Amber without a pic on top of the truck.
We were sad to go.  Here are some pics in between Ketchum & Boise.

Outstanding Marian! Amber and I loved having you two here, we are so glad you got to see our little mountain home in a little mountain ski town. Who knew, Idaho, right?!
Much love,
