Hyde Park....A Great Little Funky/Crunchy Part of Boise

I drove all over the place today in search of fun places and things to do when my sweetheart joins me in only two weeks.

I got my haircut today and I asked the girl who cut it to tell me about some fun places to see/visit. She told me about a few but the one that peaked my interest was Hyde Park...an old funky cool area just a few blocks form downtown Boise. It is about two blocks long but is filled with some great shops and restaurants. I ate lunch at this great little brew pub kind of place. Hyde Park is loaded with antiques stores, second hand stores, and a fair trade boutique where they sell all kinds of wares from impoverished artisans in third world countries and some in the united States as well. My honey will love this place. The owner (non-profit) was a very friendly lady named Lynn. I picked up a couple of things and know that htis will be a favorite store for my entire family when they come and visit. They ahve all kinds of restaurants and a a homemade ice cream shop (not that I had any)

I am back on the HCG diet for the next few weeks in my quest to get down to about 170 lbs. I have lost 9 lbs in the last 3 days and am feeling great.

I also went to an Idaho Steelheads hockey game tonight. I had a great time since I didn't have to sit at home by myself on new Years eve. The game was good even though they lost. They have a na awesome stadium right in the middle of downtown.

Check out these cool photos....I miss everyone but since Christmas is over it's much easier this time. I think its also because I know Sue will be with me in just 2 weeks. I have i told everyone how much I love this little lady.

Again, Happy New year Everyone :)
