Labor Day Vacation

We had a wonderful Labor Day! Before the wonderfulness began, I did some laundry and housework and we covered up the green beans as it was snowing outside. :( Then we hopped in the car and went for a drive. We drove up over Montpelier Canyon, thru Afton, Wy, past Alpine, Wy, through Swan Lake, ID, and around to Idaho Falls. Yes, I know it was the long way to Idaho Falls from here. Eugene calls it the "scenic route". :) When we got to Idaho Falls we went to the Idaho Museum. They have an Egyptian exhibit that was truely facinating. After we spent the nice weather portion of the day inside, we drove up to Blackfoot and went to the state fair. We watched some very ominous looking clouds move eastward toward Blackfoot as we drove. Just about the time we got to the fairgrounds, the sky began to leak. Luckily there was an umbrella in the car. We walked, in the rain, around the food court trying to decide what to eat. We bought our food and then found a shelter where we could sit and eat and stay dry. After eating we found the quilting and photography buildings and walked through them. We then went back to the food court to get treats. It rained or sprinkled on us most of the time we were there, but it was still enjoyable. We drove home after our visit to the fair. Maybe now that I've had a relaxing day I can face the rest of this busy week!
