Another bucket list item DOWN and Mother’s Day success! Mom and I traveled to Sun Valley to cross off the latest item on the list – stay in the Ernest Hemingway Suite 206 at the Sun Valley Lodge. It is also on the awesome Idaho 75 Bucket List that came out a few months ago.
It was a great experience and I’m so glad I did it. I can picture myself making many more trips to stay in the Hemingway Suite and relax. I vowed to only read Hemingway and relax the entire trip. Between a coffee house concert with friends, dinner at The Cellar, and thrift store shopping, I managed to read The Old Man and the Sea and A Farewell to Arms. I picked up a “Hemingway in Idaho” short novella with a map and the story of Hemingway’s history in our fair state and found a copy of The Sun Also Rises at the thrift store.
Check out the highlights below:
