Vacation Birthday

Saturday was our son’s 14th Birthday! Our Family tradition is to Wake up to treats and presents…and of course I had to bring a touch of  birthday celebration with us! We Come to Sun Valley around this time every year and it’s one of his favorite trips!

The lodge at Sun Valley Idaho….Sinclair Oil does everything with Class! They own  both of the resorts in Sun Valley and Snow Basin in Utah. From Beautiful chandelier’s to cozy sitting area’s to Fabulous food. You could just sit and enjoy the comfort while people watching!

Stunning views from the gondola! Sneaking a run with my cute hubby!

Sun Valley ski resort

Beautiful pit stop at the historic Round House for a drink and a little break! These are some very long runs we’re pooped! My girlfriend and her daughter joined us on this trip and it was so fun having some girl’s around! (please don’t mind my helmet hair!)

round house restaurant at Sun Valley

This is a peek at the inside of this cool historic Round House sitting in the middle of the slopes at Sun Valley. Inside and outside 5 star dinning. (also Open at night for dinner while viewing the stars!)

The Cellar Pub

The Cellar Pub

Sun Valley has a ton of Fabulous restaurants and bars! We loved the Cellar so much we ate there twice! Smoky Mountain Pizzeria grill was our son’s Birthday dinner pick! (we go here every year!) Some other Favorite’s are The Pioneer Saloon( No kids allowed), The Sawtooth Club, The Bigwood Bread cafe (this is one of my favorite Breakfast or mid afternoon coffee and sweet treat places)  Below I featured Kneadery which is a great county type Breakfast! One of my hubby’s favorite stops is Konitorei  in the Village at Sun Valley resort serving European coffee & desserts!

Farmers Daughter

The town is so cute and has a ton of Fun Gift & Clothing shop’s we enjoy browsing and shopping in! Sharon and I spent way to much money! LOL!

Even the Starbucks is eye candy! Every wall is covered in logs and vintage photo’s!

Kneadery,Sun Valley Idaho

Kneadery, Sun Valley, Idaho

The Kneadery is Open for Breakfast and lunch only! A perfect stop on the way out of town!  Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and was full for the 4 hour drive home!

Ok… so I know your asking WHY did you go on a ski vacation…. When you live in a ski town? ….. Well we really don’t live in a REAL ski town! We have 3 cool Ski resorts and a lake, tons of hiking and its strikingly beautiful … But we don’t have a village, a tons of restaurants or a night life and most of ALL the break my hubby needs from RACE course Setting & TEAM coaching…His office is the slopes 6 months out of the year! The different terrain is refreshing and it’s one of our favorite ski towns! (Not to mention our Ski passes work in Sun Valley! How cool is that!!)

I hope you enjoyed a little peek into our family’s getaway and maybe you might want to check out Sun Valley the next time you want to go on a Ski vacation!

Now off to plan a BEACH vacation…it’s been one long Winter! OX, D’Arcy

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
