Yesterday Ana and I met her friend Rebecca and her 2 year old son Tanner (who is so cute) at the Heathman Hotel in Portland for breakfast and got on the road at about 11am. It is beautiful around Hood River, Oregon and we quickly got off the 84 and drove around that town - it is famous for windsurfing, Full Sail Ale and has some Victorian houses and a little brick downtown. I'd been there before and I really like it. We then briefly got of 84 again at LaGrande, Oregon for gas and went on to Boise, Idaho. Boise is very bland (seems there was a sale on the color beige). There are some new brick buildings building downtown but hardly any pedestrians anywhere. It was all very nice but sorta seemed like a fake Hollywood set.
So we figured out that Sun Valley was only two hours away. We decided to go on. Long story short, we arrived at 11pm (after a 12 hour drive) and stayed in the historic Sun Valley Lodge. Ernest Hemingway lived in Ketchum, Idaho and wrote in the lodge. This morning, I wanted to just take a picture of the door of his room but it was open because they were cleaning it. So we got to go in and look around.

Well, this reminds me of the old fashioned postcards of yester years. Where are the pictures?
I enjoyed your sources of reference. We said bohemian today, hippie of the sixties and beatnik of the 50's. I guess granola head of the 80's. We weren't sure about granola head. We lost touch after the sixties.
Hope you're having a great day. Mom, and Dad
We just put a map up on Spencer's wall to track your progress. Keep the entries coming.
Very cool idea on the map for Spencer! It is Autie Shannon's great trip of '07, sounds like a book name (hint) :)
Love the pics - keep those comming so we can see what you see.
