Motorcycle Diaries

We had an action packed weekend beginning with a motorcycle ride to Warm River. Eric rode his new motorbike, as I like to call it, and Eva and I followed behind in the car, or tried to follow this KTM 950 Adventure. I don't know motorcycle talk, but this thing is fast! It was a nice drive- Eric loving his new bike, Eva loving her new forward-facing carseat, and me enjoying a book on CD. We stopped every hour or two to give Eric's bum a break and to rest. When we got there we had a great time playing in the river, on the swing, biking and riding quads. We also spent some time at the cabin in Island Park where the kids had fun in the huge bath tub. The ride home was a different story. I kept losing Eric and passing him when he would get off on an exit. Because of the wind, we decided to go a different route through Sun Valley. It took longer than we thought and night hit us with 3 hours left to go. After a deer jumped out and missed Eric by a few seconds, I freaked out and we pulled up to the nearest hotel. Whew! We had a hot shower and cocoa and the next morning we finished the drive. It was a pretty one, but man I was ready to be home safe.
