Made it to Teton, Idaho

Well, we made it to my best friend Carol's in Teton, Idaho today.
We got up pretty early this morning and got on the road.  We were worried about rush hour traffic in Salt Lake City and it wasn't bad at all.  Of course all of the road work didn't make it particularly lovely, but all-in-all it really wasn't that bad.  Mike was totally surprised.  I on the other hand really didn't like the reduced lanes and big vehicles.
As we headed further into northern Utah we hit weather.  Surprise, surprise!  Actually hit some heavy rain outside of Pocatello.  What was interesting is the fact that if you looked really close at the low clouds hanging over the foothills you realized it was actually snowing!!!!!  There was fresh snow on the green grass.  Unbelievable.  Isn't it June??  Went back to the bedroom in the motorhome to check the outside thermometer and it was only 42 degrees outside.  BRRRRRRRR!
Got to Carol and Phil's house a little before noon.  OMG it was so good seeing them after all of this time.  You really don't realize just how much you miss someone until you get the chance to see them and spend some time with them. 
Carol and Phil have got an absolutely beautiful home (it's actually 100 years old)!  They have got an awesome amount of property as well.  I just love their house!!!!!!  Carol let me cut some lilacs off of her bushes.  They are making the motorhome smell absolutely awesome.  Love those lilacs, always have.  They bring back such fantastic childhood memories.
Our awesome friends took us out to lunch.  Wow was that fabulous pizza!  I would have to rank it in my top favorite three!  They then took us to a couple of Carol's favorite shopping haunts.  Talk about great deals!!!!!  I got two pairs of brand new Levi's jeans for $6.99 each and a brand new Jones of New York dress denim jacket for $7.99.  There is no way I could have found these kind of deals in good ole So Cal!  Thank you Carol!!!!!!!!
Had dinner after Carol's delicious fruit drinks aka "Berry Wallbangers."  Then called it an early evening since Phil has to get up at 4:00 a.m. to go to work tomorrow in Yellowstone National Park. Just remember, if you visit Yellowstone National Park and drink any of the water, thank Phil.  He is the Supervisor for their fresh water treatment plant.
Looking forward to another fantastic day with my best bud tomorrow!
