Blown Away by Boise

 

Boise was such a cool city.  I really loved the art influence and of course our hotel.  I picked this hotel because of the photos I saw on line.  Yes, they have MY chairs.  The design of the transformed Travelodge was fabulous.  The bedroom was cutting edge modern, the bath had a fully tiled shower stall that had a shower head built in the ceiling and a really modern square sink.  The short walk we took in the evening brought us to “Donnie Macs Trailer Park Cuisine”.  Indoors and outdoors with live music and the best decor ever.  I perused the art and culture activities in the local newspaper kinda like our “Creative Loafing”.  It was a full schedule of visual and performing arts that would have kept me busy for a while.  Debbi and I took a walk in their “Hyde Park” neighborhood.  This charming section of town is like Tampa’s with great old houses and tree lined streets.  Can you tell that I like Boise?

    Your right, looks very cool and I really like the hotel. Hate to think what the winters would be like if your thinking of moving.

    Later,

    Tim
