Boise Idaho, a few days rest while the rest of the nation celebrated Labor day

After we left Jackson Wyoming on September 3rd our next continued stay was Newburg Oregon by September 7th where Sharon's brother lives. We planned our travels to have time to do a little rambling along the way as well to hold up in Boise Idaho for a few day until labor day was over. We did not want to be on the road during this heavy traveled weekend.

As we usually do we had booked a few months ahead of our scheduled arrival date a cottage that we ran on to on AirBnB. It was a little cottage in a thriving old district in down town Boise. We always use either homeaway.com,  vrbo.com, or airbnb.com to schedule a place to stay. These are sites where owners list their homes (or rentals) for rent for 1 (we usually rent for no less than 3 days and up to 2 months) or more nights. We highly recommend this process if you are traveling or just need a place to retreat for a while. Have a few pictures below of the kind of quaint places one can find along the way

Looking at the sign I either started a new business, (not) or I found a relative in Boise, or I found someone who has a business with my last name so we had to stop and check the food out.

The little cottage we rented in Boise was near  downtown in an old neighborhood that was build in the 1920 and has now been rejuvenated. It consist of 2 blocks of businesses (mostly restaurants) and little shops and several remodeled homes.
