Sam's Birthday and Idaho Falls

For Sam's birthday I treated him to a road trip to Idaho Falls. It was on our list when we were dating but we never got around to it:) So Friday we hit the road. It was a really nice trip. Everywhere was green and the trip not too long. We went to the Idaho Falls temple and also to Famous Big Juds to try our hand at a one pound hamburger!

The funny story of our trip was the hotel. I booked our hotel at the Shiloh Inn as I had heard it was a nice place to stay "A four-star hotel at a two-star price". Here were a few warning bells
1. The decor embraced the 1970s. The ceilings in the hallway were only 6 feet high.
2. The front desk lady keyed the wrong room and so we ended up walking into someone else's room. When we heard the "hello!" we quickly shut the door and walked away.
3. As we walked into the lobby to inform about the mistake there was a huge bethoveen sized dog drinking from the lobby drinking fountain with assistnce from the front desk lady.
4. Scantily dressed ladies outside the convention center as the Shiloh was hosting a cage night that evening
Needless to stay we didn't stay there but instead went to the nearby Hilton Garden Inn (Highly recommend!!!!) It was truly an experience.






The infamous Shiloh Inn!





















The temple grounds were absolutely breathtaking. Also, the lilacs were in bloom (one of my favorite flowers!!!!)
















Most importantly!!!!! The birthday boy!!!! Happy birthday!!!!
