bodldopsWe met Sis's boyfriend, Mr. Wonderfulness, in Idaho Falls, after getting rather lost. We then proceeded, much to MW's despair, to go to the Potato Museum. There we saw quite a lot of pictures of potatoes, potato fields, potato-planting machines, potato picking machines, potato picking girls, Marilyn Monroe in botato sacks, and pictures of various species of potatoes. There was also the world's largest potato chip (no really. A giant potato chip. Made by scientists who really didn't have anything else to do. Officially, it has 960 calories), and a potato signed by Dan Quayle. There was also a picture that they claimed was the world's largest potato, except the caption claimed that the potato was from the 1700's. Um? Then we claimed our potato products - freeze-dried instant hash browns in one of those little pint milk cartons you get in school lunches.
We then tried to check into our hotel, proceeding to get very very lost despite MW in the back giving helpful directions. We did find the hotel, and then proceeded to go to dinner.
Note to self: Don't eat at the Brownstone Brewery again. The 'fresh' Idaho trout was. Um. Gross. The fries were good though.
Then there was walking along the falls and taking of many pictures, and after that a swim.
Today, we had breakfast with MW (yay IHOP!) and took off for all points east. We with through the South Fork of... some river, I'm guessing the Snake river, and a little ways further stopped at a gas station/convinence store at Rainey River. Why? For the world famous square ice cream, of course!
...
No, it wasn't Klondike bars. It was actually very good.
We listened to 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' all the way to Jackson Hole, where we have gotten buns from the Bunnery and saw the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar On ethe way out of Jackson Hole, we saw two moose! Thus, we have started the wildlife count. We are now in the Grand Tetons National Park, taking many pictures of the... attractively named mountains. :D

Questions right on 'Wait Wait...': More than the actual contestants
