Fun day in Boise. Spend the afternoon at the Discovery Museum and then dinner and a flic at Flicks. We saw Buck, the Horse Whisperer. Tina said she never saw him whisper to a horse in the whole movie. So much for truth in advertising! The kids went for an evening swim and in general had a wonderful down day. The rest of the ride (starts on Wednesday) is full of long days and long distances, but some great visits. I could go on forever, but think I would be alone.

Boise, our old stomping grounds, where Alex the Spud was born. It has changed, and judging from your pictures, a lot!! I used to work in one of those state buildings next to the capitol. I also went to Boise State University for grad school.... Idaho has some interesting spots; their state motto is "Idaho is what America was". Maybe the motto has changed, too.... Should be an interesting ride home for you. See you when you get back!
I really liked Boise. We stayed downtown and could see the capital building from our hotel. Lots to do within walking distance. It reminded me a lot of the Boulder area. The vegetation and architecture were really similar to home. If we'd had another day I would have liked to float down the river and visit the art museum. Next trip...
