Boise is a cute little city. It actually reminds me a lot of Denver but just a lot smaller. The Airbnb was in a good area and it was exactly what we needed. Got some laundry done, did a deep clean, and got some good sleep.
McKenzie, who is a friend I met through Luke, lives in Boise now. She moved there with her husband last year. We spent the afternoon of the 4th with them. They live in this suburban neighborhood about 15 minutes outside of Boise.
Their house is very beautiful. A really solid size but not overly huge. A good backyard and enough space for the dogs.
They were saying that the community had a reputation for having a lot of swingers. And all the swingers have colorful doors. And their door is very colorful so they might be getting a few knocks I am thinking!
The community put on a bit of a block party for the holiday. They had a band and food trucks and there was a nice green space for everyone to hang out in. The band was very good. They took requests and we did a bit of dancing.
We headed back into the city around 4 o’clock and rested until later in the evening. We went down to the main park in town for the fireworks celebration afterward. The show was actually fairly impressive. And it wasn’t so busy. Boise isn’t too large and doesn’t have too many people. If that same shin-dig was happening in NY everyone would have been on top of each other.
