Trip Out West: Day Six- Old State Penitentiary

We headed back up to Boise for our last day in Idaho.  We decided to go the Old Idaho State Penitentiary. Lets just say it was pretty interesting.  It housed convicts for 100 years and closed in the 1970s.  Both men and women stayed here at one point.  There was a lot of historical information and it was interesting to see how people lived in the prisons.  I can only imagine how different they are from the prisons today.

After the penitentiary we found a cute little park for Allie to play at and to just relax at.  Once again it was just a beautiful day!!

After the park we headed out to dinner.  We went to Highland Hollows Brew Pub in Boise.  It was really good!  I had spaghetti and meatballs and the sauce wasn't your typical marinara.  It was a garlic cream sauce and was delicious!!!  The beer was especially delicious as well.  We then headed home where the rest of the night was spent packing up and getting ready to leave early the next morning.  It was a WONDERFUL time in Idaho and thank you to Tony and Magda for being such wonderful hosts!!!  We love you!
