Four Wonderful Years!

Justin and I went to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho for our four year anniversary! We took a little detour on our way there and went to Soda Springs, Idaho to see a natural geyser. We had awesome luck because the geyser is set to go off every hour on the hour (which we didn't know before hand) and we got there at ten minutes to the hour so we only had to wait a little while. It was cold and rainy while we were waiting, but we had fun. You can see the excitement on Justin's face.

The geyser wasn't anything spectacular, but it was still fun to see. The area smelled or rotten eggs because of all the minerals.

Those are the only pictures that we took on our trip. After Soda Springs we headed to Lava Hot Springs and walked through a little museum that they had there. We then went and ate some lunch at a little restaurant. After lunch we checked into our hotel. We stayed at a bed and breakfast inn called Lions Gate Manor. The rooms are themed. We were able to take a tour of all the rooms. One of the rooms was the Phantom of the Opera theme. It was awesome. You entered the room through a secret passage and then went down stairs into a river type look. The room had a mirror that had the Phantom looking back at you and it also had a theater box with a tv in it and surround sound. It was a cool room. We debated upgrading, but decided it wasn't really worth the money. We stayed in the Secret Garden room which was the same themed room that we stayed in on our wedding night at the Anniversary Inn. The rest of the day we were able to just relax and enjoy some alone time together. We went and walked through a little garden area and then sat in the hot springs. We were able to have a nice dinner and then get some ice cream. On Saturday we spent the day in Logan and went shopping, went on a walk, and out to dinner. We had so much fun and appreciate my parents for watching the girls for us.
