Road Trip to Ketchum, Idaho

This past weekend we took a road trip to Ketchum, Idaho to buy a Jeep that Jason found on AutoTrader. He needed a more reliable car now that he drives to work, airport, back to work, and then to school. So we stayed at the Motel Jones in good 'ole Rexburg Friday and drove the 3 1/2 hours to Ketchum. Then...of course, 4 1/2 hours back to Rexburg with the cruddy weather. The snow in Ketchum was crazy....it snowed the whole time and the roads were a mess so it did take us a bit longer than expected. We then woke up Sunday morning to a lot of new snow in Rexburg so it took us a bit longer to get home too. It was a lot of time in the car but worth it because the Jeep is exactly what Jason wants and is in great condition. His car is a 1998 and has less miles than my 2005.....go figure.

The snow in Rexburg was pretty until we had to drive in it!

Rexburg snow buried our cars....

The Jeep on the way home.....

My boys went and were tired of being in the car that long (we all were)....

Snow in Ketchum....


We drove through the "Craters of the Moon" area. It was cool. Large lava rock formations all over. This is a pic from the car so it isn't the best and I bet it is cooler without all the snow covering everything....



A milestone for my car.....it hit 100,000 miles on the trip....UGH!
