To get to Boise, we kids would endure a 2 hour car drive (one way) down a winding canyon road with freqent construction and bad weather. And we got carsick. Yuck. But once we hit the capital…boy! Not only did we get our eyes examined and our teeth cleaned, we got to go to McDonald’s (at first) and then, as our tastebuds matured, The Olive Garden.
We visited bookstores. We shopped at Fred Meyers for items in cases and cans. We bought hunting equipment for my dad and it was always a special treat for my mom to go to the quilt store.
