The Kehrlis Take on Boise

I have often said that the hardest thing about leaving the Bay Area was leaving our friends of a decade long behind.  It is for that reason that weekends like this weekend are so wonderful.  Lynsey and Bob Kehrli made the trek up to Boise for the long weekend and it was so awesome to have them here.  I cannot say that Boise put on its best weather for them, but it did not slow us down too much.  The last time these guys were here with us was when they were in our wedding five years ago. We have shared a ton of great memories together and this weekend was no exception.

The boys golfed on Saturday.

Lynz and I enjoyed the Boise and Eagle Saturday markets, went to the Boise fish market to prepare for the nights feast, and did a little shopping downtown. 

... these two glasses have been separated for far too long :)

We prepared sushi for the first time at home.  This was an adventure in itself.   Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs to say the least. 

We, representing one quarter of the Hood to Coast relay team (plus one awesome puppy), ran seven miles on the Greenbelt. 

We ventured off to a local winery for some tastings.  

After some failed fishing attempts, we purchased live bait from a vending machine at a gas station.  Yes, they seriously sell 6 types of worms from vending machines around here.  Welcome to Idaho Kehrlis.

    

Chris won the big fish competition.

 

We enjoyed one meal out in the sun! 

Aside from that, there was a lot of catching up and good laughs.  Lynz even sat through the end of Oprah with me.  There is no better way to end a show based on the bond between girlfriends than to watch it with one of my closest friends. We also visited a total of 6 of Boise and Eagle's best restaurants and of course stuffed ourselves every time.  It was a wonderfully busy and fun weekend.  Thanks for making the trip up here to see our home and experience our hometown with us.  We are lucky to have you guys in our lives!
