Sun Valley Trip 2015- Day 1

Warning this is a Long post!

Day 1-

Wednesday

WE are here in Sun Valley.

It is just as beautiful as I remember it being last year.

This year is even better. Instead of a nice room- and last year we had a very nice room- we have an apartment at the resort. I will probably be  wanting this kitchen- small as it is- forever because it is not only beautiful but super functional!

Wow it is nice!

Wednesday night after we had dinner (more on that later) we went swimming. I might have talked about that last year, but really, amazing.

The pool is heated- like hot- hot bath temp (not quite hot tub), and it is outside, round, and has walls up around it to protect from the wind but the walls are basically huge beautiful window panes with gorgeous wrought iron lanterns every 8 feet. The resort has a magical view of the surrounding mountains and trees all over the place. It is so beautiful. Swimming at night –in the rain/snow- with trees and mountains and romantic lighting, the steam rising off the water of the pool so thick that you can’t see the other people… It was a favorite thing ever. It felt like it was just us and the rain/snow was icy cold falling down on us, and the sky was dark and cloudy and the mountains and everything. *sigh* 

obviously this is a picture of the pool during the day, from outside, because ya there is no way i could have captured the awesomeness at night, with no camera, he he.

Oh and by the way- the “locker rooms” are so not the YMCA they are carpeted-with the heavy good stuff and everything is lush dark wood and marble and mirrored and beautiful.  It was an eye opener to me- like this is how “the other half” live.

Moving on, aside from the views and the swimming and the amazing facility’s Sun Valley and Ketchum (the small rich town next door) have adorable shops.

So I have really been enjoying the food.

We began out trip at a sweet restaurant called Rico's- they had delicious bread sticks- traditional Italian style- and the food was really good- but what I will always remember and probably crave when I am pregnant are the cannolis. So.Good.
