A Little Burst of Summer

In January

I have really been feeling the gloom of winter a lot lately

and it is dark and cold I thought I would post some pics of July

when it was so hot I was thinking of cooler weather

 

 

 Downtown Boise is a great place during the summer. The Grove is in the center of town and this fountain is designed for playing in and yes I have been in it more then a few times.

 I was very tempted on this morning to get in and play but sloggy sneakers are just no fun.

 

 

 The best time to get in and wet and wild is on Wednesdays at Alive after 5 which is a concert series that goes on all summer it gets as hot as a 100*+ but still people flock out to The Grove and they turn the fountain down lower and the kids (and certain adults) play in it.

 A great restaraunt on The Grove is the Brick Oven Bistro which serves the best home cooked food and some unusual stuff this sculpture fountain is outside of their place

 

 

 You can eat outside under their umbrellas and they have always been wonderful about letting me bring a regular chair out from inside

 Another fun place is right across Main St. from The Grove is The Terrace which is connected to a big parking garage and filled with shops and restaraunts

 

 

 One of my favorite places to eat on a Saturday or Sunday morning is The Piper Pub and Grill which does a weekend brunch on the terrace. The Terrace is in the shade till about 1pm most of the summer and even when it is about 90 out (that day) it is cool and comfy there. The food is great and huge servings.

 Other things there are a great sushi place, a Korean restaraunt, an Italian restaraunt, a really fun dance club and a lot of beautiful clothing stores that sadly do not carry my size or price range and wonderful camera shop I love to look at.

People joke about Boise but actually we have tons of stuff to do and places to go.
