We’d been in rural southern Utah for the past 2 weeks and had seen some beautiful sights. However, being 17 days without finding a fully stocked grocery store had our meal options were becomming quite basic. That’s why, when we saw the hotels and tourist shops of Moab’s Main Street, it was quite literally an Oasis in the midst of a desert for us.

The journey from Kodachrome Basin State Park was quite the trip!  What we thought would be a 1.5 hour drive to our next location turned into more than a 3 hour drive which included climbing to nearly 10,000 ft.  We finally arrived in a cute little town named Torrey.

We entered Utah 3 days ago and have spent our time exploring Salt Lake City.  Well, trying to anyway.  This city is oddly bland.  We wanted to stay for 3 nights so we would have 2 full days of exploring but as it turns out, that might not have been the best choice.

After B, b, b, Boise, Boise (to the beat of Poison, Bell Biv DeVoe; this is what our soundtrack has been while were passing through the big B), we headed into Twin Falls, Idaho.  Here we extended our stay from one to two nights to give the girls some down time. 

We spent 4 nights outside of Boise (at the Boise / Meridian KOA). I wasn’t expecting to like Boise. I had been to Boise once before, years ago, for work, and remember it as suburban sprawl. However, I had never been downtown. We spent each of our 3 days doing different things downtown and quite enjoyed the city. Here’s how we spent our 3 days.
