Happy New Year!

January 1, 2026

Happy New Year!  We typically don't do a lot on New Year's Day.  Usually we're cleaning up from the holidays and kind of hunkering down around the house waiting for back to work and school.  But, this year was obviously different.  Daniel and Emily started the year on the slopes!  The best way to start the year, if you ask them.  I hung around the condo and worked on my scrapbook and watched Hallmark movies.  It was all so lovely.  Then, my gift to the family for Christmas, was a sleigh ride to dinner in Sun Valley!  We have never done anything like this so I think everyone was excited.

   
   

We started out at the Sun Valley Inn and the rode all the way to Trail Creek Cabin.  Trail Creek Cabin is a mountain-style log cabin originally built in 1937.  It sits right next to Trail Creek and has great views of Bald Mountain.  It is small but extremely cozy and was quite warm with the big wood-burning fire.

   
      
Dinner was delicious.  We had a salad course, then soup, an entree and then there was a big buffet of desserts too!  It was really, really lovely.

   
   
Then, after dinner, we hopped back into the sleigh (well, truthfully it was more like a wagon) for our return to the resort.  It was such a fun night.  Highly recommend trying it out if you happen to be in Sun Valley during the holidays!
