We left early Friday morning just ahead of 7:30. We hadn't even made it to Idaho Falls when a light on our car pops up with it saying that our tire pressure was low. We knew we should have gotten our car serviced. So we stopped at a Maverick on the way and filled up our tires a bit. After that little stop we got on the road. Being in the car with Caleb is seriously a hoot. I might just think that it may be one of my favorite things--singing to songs, holding hands, dancing to music, chit chattin--so fun. We finally got there and had little time to spare before I had to drop Caleb off at Sysco for his meeting. So we found where he was going to go, then drove to our hotel to make sure I knew where I was going after I dropped him off. Finally the time came and I dropped Caleb off at his meeting. While he was there, I drove to go see my grandpa and step grandma. He has been getting to the last of his days and has been pretty sick with cancer that has been horrible for him. When I got to his place, it was hard. I don't like seeing loved ones in not good shape. But, I'm glad I stopped by. It may be the last time I see him. I'm not sure. We'll see. After swinging by my grandpas, I drove to our hotel and checked in. It was SUCH a nice hotel. Nicest one me or Caleb have ever stayed at. I hung out there for a bit, then headed back to pick up Caleb and Wes..another guy Caleb works with. Sysco wanted to treat Big Juds to dinner that night. We ended up at Goodwood which is a bbq pace. They ordered us SO much food. Appetizers, our main dish (which was ginormous) AND dessert. We were STUFFED full.
We talked at dinner and was there for 3 hours. Good company and good food. We came back to our hotel and hit the sack, I was so tired.
Saturday, we slept in, and got ready. I was in horrendous pain that morning and was kinda sick and just didn't feel good at all. I loaded up on pain pills and that took the edge off. Wes and his girlfriend Kristina invited us to go to lunch and hang out with them that day before the game that night. So we hopped in their car. They gave us a little tour of Boise. We stopped at a kitchen/restaurant store so they could pick up a few things for Juds. Afterwards, we drove to Wes's house to let the dog out. Hung out there for a bit, then headed over to a place called the Village. It reminded me a lot of the Gateway in SLC. stores, food, hangout spots, stuff like that. For lunch, we ended up at a place called Big Al's. It's a restaurant/sports bar/arcade/bowling. It was awesome! While eating lunch we watched the screen that was bigger that a theater screen.
The picture doesn't do it justice. But that screen was huge. After lunch we walked upstairs and played some arcade games. 4 way air hockey, football and basketball shoot thing. Me and Caleb are champs! ;)
After that we walked to the Nike Outlet, and Pro Image and bought us some shirts for the game that night. After that, we realized it was close to the time we were going to meet for the Boise state game. So we rushed back the hotel just long enough to change into our shirts, freshen up, and then off we went. We rode with Wes again over to Big Juds where we met up with some other people. We grabbed some drinks and then walked over to the stadium where the tailgate party was going on. We had our own private tailgate party hosted by Double R Rance. It's where Big Juds burger is from. So we hung out there for like 3 hours. There was burgers, pulled pork, cookies, drinks, and so much food. I'm pretty sure me, Caleb, and another guy Caleb meets up with for work were the only ones without alcohol. We felt a little awkward just because we clearly aren't partyers. We were offered plenty of it. I didn't care that people where drinking and what not, but its just not what we are used to. After what seemed like forever, it was finally time to go to the stadium for the game to start. We found our seats, and watched the game. Both me and Caleb are not sportsy people so we didn't know how the game works, rules, all that. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but the first half was just confusing. What we thought was fun to watch was the people that take the game SUPER serious. People were cussing left and right, mad at the refs, high fiving their friends, drinking, smoking, party animals...then there is me and Caleb just chillin not knowing a single thing that is goin on during this game. hahaha
There were SO many people there ALL in mainly blue. It was quite the sight! At half time, we headed back out to the tailgate. We talked to our friends to get ideas on how this game works. How the rules go and what not. Don't judge. haha The second half was a lot more fun. Knowing what was going on, and actually understanding the game a little bit made it more fun. Once the game was over, we walked back to Big Juds where Wes's car was. We didn't get back to our hotel till 1 in the morning. It was a lot of fun, but both me and Caleb were quite tired. We had a huge day, walking around everywhere, and exploring the city. We crashed and slept in late.
Sunday we slept in. The check out time was noon. We were debating on staying another day but wasn't sure. We decided to just do what we planned on doing and still go home that day. So we got ready, packed our room up, and checked out of the hotel. We gassed up, and got ice and then headed over to the Boise Aquarium. We both had never been so we didn't know what to expect. It was kinda small but they did have some cool fish. A lot of the fish you could stick your hand in and touch them. We got to one spot where they had stingrays and sharks swimming around. We thought it was the neatest thing! Maybe people think we are crazy but I thought you could only see a stingray on a cruise or something haha. So we watched them and touched them for a little bit. They felt DISCUSTING. I do not like touching slimey things and they were most definitely slimey. I accidentally screamed when I first touched it because it seriously felt sick. Kinda gives me the shivers. They splashed water too. So I had stingray water all over my shirt. haha eh whatevs.
Then we walked over to see other fish, octopuses and sharks.
Lots of sharks in this water. I had never seen one so close up. Pretty neat! After the aquarium, we shot for home. Again, the car ride was a hoot. More singing, more dancing, hand in hand, or hand on the knee. Was fun! We stopped in Idaho Falls for gas and food. Caleb had never been to Buffalo Wild Wings and I had only been there once so we chose to eat out there. After dinner, we drove to Caleb's parents house where Libbie was. She was so excited to see us. We missed her so much! Me and Caleb bought her a souvenir from the aquarium. Caleb picked it out. haha she loves that rediculous seal. It's kinda creepy though. I will walk down our hallway and it will be staring at me like it is in this picture. hahahaha she loves it though. :)
It overall was a great trip! We met people and did quite a bit in a short amount of time. Doing anything with Caleb is fun. It was a great little weekend getaway. It was especially nice because we hadn't done any of the stuff we did in the past. So it was our first time at both restaurants, Broncos game, The Village, and shopped where we normally don't. Also, happy anniversary to us. I'm so blessed to share this life with such an amazing man. Life would be so boring without my person by my side. Love you Caleb!
