Fun in Sun

. . . Sun Valley, that is. We had a super fun little getaway to Sun Valley for part of Spring Break (part 2-Portland will be coming soon!).

Collin's parents were so awesome and let us use some of their WorldMark points to get a cute little condo to stay in! We were there for 2 nights. (the outside of our condo)

It was so cute! Perfect for us. It had a kitchen, which was awesome because Collin loves to cook me breakfast! :) And we were able to just take up some groceries and make sandwiches and things so we didn't have to eat out every single meal. Something about preparing meals in a place makes it feel like home anyway!

The condo was in Elkhorn Springs, a resort in Ketchum. (5 minutes outside of Sun Valley) It had a fabulous hot tub and sauna which we spent a lot of time in. (me in the hot tub, Collin in the sauna--I think it was just a reminder of his old wrestling days because sauna is really no fun in my opinion!)


We had such a great view from where we stayed. It was beautiful up there! I felt like we were in a time warp though, because it snowed and was very cold! It was like going back to winter!

The view from the top of Dollar Mountain (taken on my snowboard!)

Collin got these free headband things at Nationals--so freaking dorky but just because it says "NCAA Wrestling" on the back he wore it like the whole trip! You can't see his hair very well in this picture but it was hilarious after he took off his snowboarding beanie. And the headband added such a nice touch. (not to mention the cool pose)

Of course we had to snowboard! It is like $80 for a day on Mt. Baldy so we opted for Dollar Mountain, which was still fabulous seeing as I am not a very good snowboarder! Collin I was so excited because I finally got down some carving! (on the easiest run of course.) Collin had some fun on the harder runs, so it was great. I love the view of Mt. Baldy you can see in the background of this picture! This is at the very top of Dollar. (notice Collin used the headband for more than one thing--here it is functioning as a scarf. (eye roll))

We ate out at some great places. This was fun--a Peruvian Restaurant! My first time eating Peruvian food, that is for sure. It was so freaking spicy. Luckily what I ordered wasn't bad, but Collin got some something for us to share (totally forgot the name) and my mouth burned for like half an hour. It was so cool though because the restaurant is just an old train boxcar! It is surprisingly nice inside!

And I had to take a picture of this--their whole house was surrounded by a fence of skiis! Crazy! And well, not my style of decor but I'm sure they attract a lot of attention. Even their shed was lined with skiis. I guess that is what your life is about if you live up there.
