(Craig writes) This is a brief log update, more details and pics to follow.
We left the Salt Lake City, Utah area this morning, another interesting place, and drove Northwest toward Boise, Idaho. Around lunchtime we randomly picked an exit to get off the highway to find food and gas, (hopefully the type of gas that the car runs off of :) Twin Falls, Idaho was another of those small town America experiences for us, fun and facinating. Once again we had "stumbled" onto yet another geological marvel, the Snake River Canyon. We'll post some pics later but imagine driving along on a flat highway for miles & miles and then all of the sudden the bottom drops out of the land next to you and you are then staring at a canyon several hundred feet deep. That was our intro to Twin Falls. After riding around town a few minutes we decided to stop at a local restaurant named "Idaho Joe's". They had really yummy food and yes I did have an Idaho potato with my meal. After eating and chatting with our friendly server, Alisha - originally from TN but loves ID, we finished our drive to Nampa, ID to check in to our hotel for the night. From our fourth floor room we have a great view of the Wal-Mart across the highway, (sorry Addie)!
We plan to be in Yakima, Washington tomorrow and hope to take a tour of a local winery while there.
More later...

I forgot to comment on your "Way to Go Idaho" subject for this entry. Nice "shout-out" for Toy Story Dad! :) For those who don't know, Hamm (the piggy bank) says this to Mr. Potato Head when the little girl opens a Mrs. Potato Head for Christmas at the end of the movie. :)
