As promised here are some photos of the Moscow Farmers market. There is not much produce this time of year, especially with the terribly rainy spring that we have had. The best time to go to the farmers market is from July through October when they close. But, if you are looking for handmade gifts and jewelry, then this is a great time to visit. Speaking of produce, going to make some huckleberry jam tomorrow from huckleberries picked right here in Idaho on one of our camping trips. If you ever get a chance to go camping in the mountains of Idaho in August, don't forget to look for our huckleberries. They are delicious and made great shakes, jams and pancakes. They grow on small skinny bushes and there are only a small number of berries ... read more

Yesterday was our first trip of the season up to Moscow Idaho for the Farmers Market. For those that do not live in the area, Moscow is the home of the University of Idaho (of which I am an Alumni of). They are also host to some great festivals and the largest farmer's market in the area. They close down a parking lot in downtown and have 6 rows of farmer's, ranchers, vendors and food to enjoy. They also usually have some form of entertainment available during the market (runs from 8 am to Noon). During this time of the year, most of the produce available is in the form of plants for your garden, later on they have everything that you can think of that is grown in the region. It is nice to get ... read more

Saturday morning started with a bus ride on the Grayline to San Diego. We have booked with Grayline before on a trip to Universal Studios, so I thought that I would try them again to make the trip to San Diego easier. It was also cheaper to go this way as compared to renting a car and driving down by ourselves, as we booked the bus ride and the tickets into seaworld through Alaska Airlines Vacations we also got a discount. It was also nice not to have to pay for the gas, the rental car to sit in the hotel parking lot or the ridiculous amount that SeaWorld wanted to park your car in the parking lot. At 8:30 in the morning we were picked up right in front of our hotel with other vacationers ... read more

I apologize that I did not keep up with my blogging during my vacation. What am I saying? I didn't just not keep up on it I only did one blog....LOL. Do I have an excuse? Absolutely. I love Theme Parks and when I wasn't in one of the Theme Parks I was sleeping so that I could get ready to go back and spend more time in the theme park later. That and my ebook on my website decided to do a disapearing act and I had to re-write and revise it so that I could get it back online. So now that the excuses are out in the open, I can now post-blog the rest of the trip. I will make a separate post for each of the days that we were down there ... read more
