Our drive today was only 5.5 hours, so in the morning we spent some time downtown SLC where we saw a bunch of Mormon architecture and explored a cool indoor/outdoor mall that had a creek running through it. On our way out of SLC we stopped by Antelope Island, a national park, which is more like a peninsula that juts out into the Great Salt Lake.
Our drive from there to Boise was about five hours, but felt more like 10, because the A/C in our car stopped working. It's not that hot in Idaho, staying between 65 and 70, but the sun really heats up the inside of the car. Plus, the sun sets in the direction we're driving, so it makes it hotter.
We arrived in Boise around 7, got some dinner, and are at our hotel planning for tomorrow's drive and then our final day of driving (Monday) and first night in our new apartment.
BTW, most of Idaho looks like this:
Tomorrow we plan to drive to Yakima, WA in the morning, which is about a 6 hour drive. It's supposed to be hot tomorrow, so if we go there in the morning, we can avoid passing out from the heat inside our car! From Yakima, it's a 2.5 hour drive to our apartment.
