Birthdays, for some, after the age of 18 are just another day in the year. Not for us! We like to celebrate for the week, or maybe more! This year for Abbie’s birthday we went to Hailey, Idaho for the weekend. We stayed at our favorite bed and breakfast, The Spruce Inn. When we venture to the Wood River Valley we always like to visit The Wicked Spud for their $5 lunch special, a made to order cheese burger and fries. Don’t forget Happy Hour at the Sun Valley Brewery; pints for around $3. The stout is always a good choice. This trip we gave the restaurant Fresshies a second chance. The first visit, last year, was a miss. The dinner we had this trip was great. The place was packed, typically a good indication. Our selections were the steamers off the appetizer menu, which were served in a flavorful broth with a baguette, the house made mac and cheese, and Cindy went with the chicken chili. Everything was delicious.
The trip would not have been complete without a prime rib dinner at the Pioneer Saloon, where the service and food are always top notch. Overall, the birthday trip was perfect and only a mere two hours away from home.
