Last weekend, we drove 22 hours roundtrip to attend the wedding of a friend in Stanley, ID. Yes, 22 hours. We saw A LOT of Washington, Oregon and Idaho in a short period. We left at 3 a.m. on Friday and arrived at beautiful Redfish Lake Lodge at 3 p.m. (We lost an hour to the timezone change). The lodge, and "greater" Stanley, ID (population 63) is a gateway to the Sawtooth Mountains and some great river and lake recreation. I don't think we ever got over the drive-time hangover, but the scenery, sun and good company kept us rallying through the weekend.
When we arrived at the lodge, we went straight for the dock.
Wearing glasses on the dock is totally trendy.
Redfish Lake Lodge is like the Disneyland of Idaho. Kids were everywhere!
At the recommendation of a friend, we went to the Stanley Baking Company for breakfast before the wedding. GOOD CALL.
On to the wedding at Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch.
I can't take Amanda to a wedding without catching her double-fisting beers.
Two can play that game.
It was nice catching up with our friends Mat, Whitney, Doreen and Kenny (left to right).
Here comes the bride.
The view wasn't bad.
I just think the dress pattern in this photo is fun.
How to end this blog post? Like our trip back, with hot springs.
