Will enjoying a milkshake at the Victor Emporium in Victor, Idaho.
Today was our last full day of the trip and we took advantage of it to sleep in a little. After breakfast we headed into the town of Jackson for our first day to explore the shops. We've passed through Jackson several times but haven't stopped in downtown until this morning. We let groups roam the shops for 2 1/2 hours which included finding their own place to eat lunch. They enjoy this chance to eat without the other 15 or so kids on occasion.
After our excursion in town, we took most of the kids to Idaho for a milkshake at the Victor Emporium. We mostly did this just to say we had been to Idaho...but those milkshakes were very tasty too. Victor is the first town you come to in Idaho as you leave Jackson and is about 24 miles from our motel.
Swimming or chilling in the rooms was the late afternoon activity as well as organizing and packing for the trip home. We had dinner next door at the Virginian Restaurant and then ended with another one of my "what's next" meetings before letting boys visit in other rooms before settling in for an early wake-up call.
We'll be leaving the motel tomorrow at 6:15 for our trip home. Our plane leaves at 8:10.
While we have a travel day tomorrow, basically -- the real trip activities ended tonight. Boys are ready to get home to their own beds as I know the leaders are. But it has been a wonderful trip to some incredible places and we're all fortunate to be able to take such an adventure.
Thanks to those 20 boys and their parents for making this possible and thanks to my incredible leaders Ray Thompson, Howard Yarborough, and Jeff Peisner for their patience and leadership and friendship. You guys make this trip so much fun for me.
I'll have one more blog post to wrap-up our experience at a later date.
Thanks for following our adventures.
