We went on a day hike on the one full day of Nick and Sachiyo's visit this weekend. Since it was 101 degrees today we wanted to go somewhere that had cooler temperatures and it was 20 degrees cooler up there. We still worked up a sweat, though, hiking 1-1/2 miles up and back around the ski slopes of Bogus Basin ski area. Just looking at the map made us feel cooler.
There is just something odd about seeing ski lifts in the summer.
We took a picnic for lunch of sandwiches with chicken breasts and provolone cheese with Great Harvest bread
and grapes - we all know how good fruit tastes on a hike
and various other items found in the pantry.
oops...we dropped a sandwich but soon the wild critters took advantage
and Bruce dropped his sunglasses on the way up and Sachiyo spotted them on the trail on our way down. What sharp eyes and lucky Bruce.
Another familiar ski run.
So, what do we do when we get back to town? Head straight to Goody's!
Goody's is the best ever ice cream and candy shop in the North End of Boise in Hyde Park and Nick requested a stop there so since he was our guest, we had to oblige.
They make the best ever carmel corn (right in the window), among other delicious things….
So cute inside and old fashioned
with beautifully gift wrapped chocolates.
But our favorite is the old fashioned ice cream sodas.
So much for all the calories we burned on our hike today.
Raspberry soda - glorious!
