Sunday Drivers

Theres nothing more relaxing then driving around on Sundays and viewing the new sites in my new home state. Yes there is not much around here to see, unless you look really hard and you aim for the large green spots on the GPS.

This Sunday Joey and I went to Ice Harbor Dam and Lock. It was very interesting, I think. The drive was nice and...scenic. The Dam looked... like any other Dam I've ever seen. We didn't get to see the Lock because some stupid people like to blow up dams, so you are no longer allowed to drive over dams, and we would have to drive over this dam to see the Lock. Seriously one person always ruins it for the rest of us.

See now whats fun once your out driving, find signs that say "Historic Site" or "Scenic View". You could drive around for a while just following those signs and you get to see cool stuff.
We went to an Indian Burial Memorial, which was the oddest Indian Memorial I've ever seen.
Do you see this Castle? Its on the ground right outside of the Memorial. Are they royalty? do Indians have royalty? And if they do, do they live in Medieval castles? Who thought this would be a good place to place a castle? If I was a smart person, which I like to think I am, I would see this castle and think I was entering a King Arthur Memorial instead of an Indian Burial.
I don't know what to say about this Memorial plaque, other then it is very poorly written and it made me giggle because of how badly written it is.
Here lies a boulder with petroglyphs, and there stands Joey and Roxy. I'm the Queen of pointing out the obvious.
You'd think that with a river so close there would be more green. You'd think, but you'd be wrong.
Its always Boise State day in the Irish house!
This is what the Memorial looks like, quite artsy isn't it. I like the lava rock.
Next Sunday we'll go on another adventure, to where I don't know. Until then, later!

You two always find the coolest places to see. Even if it is through luck. And what are you making fun of that memorial for. All it was saying was that the indians who were buried there had dried fish and traded. Wouldn't you like you're memorial to read something like that, Here lies Ally who washed dishes and read a book. I think it totally gives you a whole new perspective on their lives.
