In a million years, I never thought my travels would take me to Sun Valley, Idaho. Before my trip, I honestly had no idea what the state had to offer. Growing up and living on the East Coast, my domestic travels always took me south to Florida or north to New England – never west. If I were in charge of planning my own trip to one of the mountain states, I’d probably choose Colorado or Utah, because that’s all I know!
It’s a good thing I wasn’t in charge of planning my Pop Pop’s 80th birthday family trip, because if I had been, I never would have discovered the beautiful state of Idaho. Earlier this month, all of my extended family on my mother’s side made the long trip out west to celebrate my dad’s big 8-0 victory in the mountain resort town of Sun Valley. It took some effort to get there – a rescheduled flight and a long layover in Denver – but I knew upon landing that the trip would be totally worth it. How unreal is this floor plan?

I wanted to start off this travel guide by letting you know that it’s a little shorter than I’ve done in the past, as a preface to this travel guide. Why? Since this was a family trip, I did my best to put my phone down and live in the moment. It was also one of the first trips that I wasn’t involved in planning (shout out to my Aunt Jen!) And I’m not going to lie – it was really refreshing to just go with the flow and not have to worry about any reservations. I promise it’s still worth a read!
