We've lived in Idaho over a year-and-a-half, and haven't done much exploring. Last year we didn't go anywhere, foremost because we're homebodies, but secondly because we were still paying off our debts. This year we are still theoretically saving our six month emergency fund, which I haven't been great about doing, but we have a little more to use for trips and activities. I love visiting family, so I think, If we drive any reasonable distance, we may as well visit family instead of going other places. This has made for some very enjoyable visits, but at some point it's worth exploring the area around us. Zak suggested driving to Jackson Hole when we discussed activities for our third anniversary. We've had a wonderful month so far, with lots of activities, so the day trip moved to the end of the month. Fortunately, it landed on a perfectly warm Saturday. V travels fairly well, especially when we're prepared. She did fight sleep in tears after we detoured to see a waterfall, but drifted to sleep after a brief rest stop. Driving around mountains and canyons reminded me of when Zak and I dated, and is a nice break from everyday life in our basement apartment. I even tried to utilize skills from my rock climbing class in college at one of the local parks. I'm glad Husband enjoys spending time as a family, and holding our baby girl. He's such a good dad. Also, I'm glad he likes to drive.
