Lava Hot Springs
Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Me and Jason have been really lucky lately and have got to take so many fun trips since we have been dating. Especially this summer! A few weekends we took a fun little trip with our good friends Danny & Aly to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Jason's mom grew up in Soda Springs which is nearby and we thought it would be a nice little camping trip and a good chance to visit his grandma. We didnt expect to have so much fun in such a little town!
The first thing we did was rent this 4 person tube and float the river. It was a blast! We really only had one minor problem when we crashed into a rock, but everyone floating by kept commenting on how we were too dry and were lucky we hadn't flipped, i was happy about that even if jason wasn't. Things like that are "fun" to him?
That night we went to the hot springs. They are HUGE and have different pools ranging from hot to really really hot. I love hot springs and hot tubbing so i could've stayed forever!
The next day we went to Soda Springs to visit Jason's cute grandma. We also stopped by "the fountain of youth". It is a natural spring which is carbonated! It taste pretty gross though. You can stop by it in the Oregon Trail Game :)
Jason stuck his head in...
This last weekend we went again with our friends Micah & Louisa. Both our cameras were dead so we 'it, but we will remember it forever :)
It was fun, but unfortunately the weather wasn't quite as warm and we ended up leaving a night early. We went tubing again and it was a bit too cold for me, especially after we tipped in the same place we almost died last time and soaking wet in freezing cold water! (Jason enjoyed it) So i sat out the next couple of runs, and apparently they had a disaster and tipped again, but at least the water was warmer that time according to them!
So we discovered a new little weekend getaway! Cant wait until next summer when we can go again!
