Man, it's hard to come back to reality!

We had sooo much fun! There were 4 couples and we met up Fri. night at the hot pools in Lava after checking in the hotel in Pocatello. We stayed for about an hour and then went to eat. I ate too much and too late so the next morning I didn't go down to the breakfast and just had Garn bring me up a hot choc and banana. We strolled the town and also saw where one of the couples stayed the night before. It's called The Lion's Gate Bed and Breakfast and has theme rooms like Anniversary Inn. There was a Phantom room that even had the image of the phantom in the mirror. You had to descend down curved stairs to the room and cross a fake lake that had the sound of running water and the huge jetta tub filled from the ceiling. They had a red box seating room to view movies that had red velvet couches and a red cord that you could put across to reserve your private showings.. That was just one room. Their eating area for the breakfast was an elaborately set table with high backed chairs and the couple said they served a huge breakfast with all the fixings including heart shaped choc chip waffles. It's a cool bed and breakfast right in Lava. Sat we went back to the springs and got an all day pass. Before that, we strolled around town and did a little shopping, then went out to lunch and to the pools then back to Pocatello for a rest and then back to Lava at the White Wolf restaurant where we played Bingo with all proceeds going to the senior citizen's center in town. 2 of our friends won some money and we all laughed and had a great time. On the last game it was black out and Garn had only 1 number left when someone yelled Bingo! Man, was he disappointed!! By then it was around 10 pm so we headed back to the hot pools and soaked for about 45 min and went back to the hotel and crashed. You sure sleep better after hot tubbing! Got up this morning and headed home, totally relaxed! We keep saying we have to do this more than once a year!
