Idaho

Wyoming gets old fast, so any excuse to get out of it is warmly welcomed. My sister and i both have many friends that live in rexburg and in a last minute decision we decided to drive out there for the weekend. Normally the drive is about four hours and goes through Yellowstone park, but as the east entrance to the park is closed its necessary to drive around it, making the trip about 6 hours.

The roads were snowy, but we managed to make it into town just as it was getting dark. I met up with my good friend Lauren, and my sister went and hung out with her friend Toni. The next day was Halloween and there really wasn't much planned so I installed ubuntu on Laynas netbook, talked politics with Toni's husband Dan (he's the chair of the college republicans) then headed over to my cousin house to play board games with the other cousins that had congregated there. Afterward we watched Nightmare before Christmas on netflix. It was quite late at that point but i was nowhere near able to sleep so i went on a walk around rexburg, got lost and managed to find my way back to Toni's place where we were staying. It must have been around three miles as i was walking around for at least an hour.

Sunday we drove back to Wyoming. The whole trip was incredibly quick but it was worth it.
