Things To Do In and Around Idaho Falls
Activities within walking distance of the hotels:
***WALK AROUND THE GREENBELT: There is a path that loops around part of the Snake River that is often frequented by kids, adults, geese, and ducks. The whole loop is just over 2 miles long.
***TOUR DESTINATIONS INN: Destinations Inn is a unique themed hotel in downtown Idaho Falls. They have rooms that are themed after popular destinations all over the world. They allow you to tour the rooms between 1-4pm. It's fun and interesting to see what they have come up with.
***COLONIAL THEATER: The Colonial Theater has different shows and events throughout the year as well as some nice architecture.
*EASTERN IDAHO VISITOR'S CENTER: Located near the river, the Visitor's center has an abundance of information and ideas for keeping busy while in Idaho Falls.
***MUSEUM OF IDAHO: While you are here, the Museum of Idaho will be showing the exhibit "King Tut". The exhibits at this museum tend to be pretty good and always include "The History of Idaho" exhibit downstairs.
***UNION PACIFIC: Visit this great snow cone "shack" that is located in an old train car. They are delicious and you can add ice cream to them too! :)

Accommodations
We are still checking around to try and find the best deals for everyone! As of now, the front runner is looking like Best Western Driftwood Inn, which is located right on the beautiful Snake River. When we have nailed down the best prices, I will be sure to update. I promise it will be soon! :)
Wedding Weekend Itinerary
Wedding activities will be primarily on Saturday and Monday (of course!). Exact times are still being decided. When we have finalized the schedule, I will make sure to update everyone with this blog.
Wedding Gift Registry
Brad and I are registered at Target. You can find it under either of our names in the store or online at target.com/wedding. We also just bought a house, so gift cards to Lowe's Home Improvement would also be greatly appreciated.
