We decided we are going to try to go to Boise to visit Bailey at least once each semester. Last semester we went for homecoming and watched a great football game. This semester Mark and I went over for a BSU vs. Utah State basketball game. So fun!
We got there Friday afternoon and took Bailey shopping to restock her fridge. Then we went downtown and had dinner at the Boise Fry Company. They serve good burgers and all different kinds of fries with about 10 different dipping sauces. Fun place! At the beginning of the semester, Bailey went with some friends to this old arcade and loved it. She has been dying to take us there. That's where we spent the rest of our night. For a total of $10, we had 2 hours worth of great entertainment! They have all the old school video games. It has the same low lights, loud music, and feel of the old 80s arcades. It was so fun! We played Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, 1942, Q-bert, Donkey Kong, Track and Field, Etc.
On Saturday, we hiked the Tablerock trail (not the same one we do over the summer). It's a popular trail that goes up to a cross on the mountain and overlooks the whole city. It's really pretty in the Fall (that's when Bailey did it last semester), but we had snow! We hiked up, took pictures, and then ran down. After that, we had lunch on campus, and then went to the basketball game. It was intense! Boise was losing the entire game (usually they were down about 10 points). They rallied in the last quarter and came back and tied the game with about 2 minutes to go. We were dying! Then they went ahead for a while. Utah State came back and tied it up with 15 seconds to go! Ahhhhh! It went into overtime, and Boise lost. They lost it on free throws. BSU just couldn't make them! Such a fun game!
We hung out on campus, shopped in the Bronco Shop, and then went back downtown to have dinner at Fork. There was an hour wait, so we found the cutest little bookstore to shop in while we waited. We got a couple books and an awesome puzzle that I'm super excited to do.
Sunday morning, we toured the capital building. Bailey went to a thing on campus about women in politics, and really liked it, so she was excited to go to the capital. Now she has a goal of sitting in a house or senate session before the semester is over. We walked through downtown in the rain, had lunch on campus, and then headed home.
