Our Epic Northwestern Journey – Part 5 – Visiting With Scott And Traci

After leaving Shoshone Falls Our Epic Northwestern Journey – Part 4 – Next Stop, Idaho – Shoshone Falls we headed straight north up to Caldwell for a couple days of visiting with our friends Scott and Traci, at their “Idahome”. It was yet another beautiful and scenic drive along the way.

If I didn’t know better, I’d say this bottle of wine and wine glass were put there just for me. But alas, I know differently. We were paralleling the Snake River, which is home to about 60 wineries in Idaho. Hitting the Caldwell Wine Trail

After driving for about 2 1/2 hours, we made it to Scott and Traci’s and were greeted with open arms and lots of hugs. Then they introduced us to their furry and feathered family. They live on about 2 1/2 acres of land, and are branching out. They now have chickens, and are thinking about getting some cows and goats as well.

This is Tigger, one of the newest family members. Tigger and I made fast friends with each other. He even slept with us. He wanted to make sure we felt welcomed.

Scott and Traci have about 11 chickens who lay about 56 eggs a week for them.

The Henseik Idahome is filled with lots of birds of all kinds. Here are some of their resident quails

Scott, like me, LOVES to cook. He and Traci cooked us a delicious dinner, using one of Scott’s new favorite “toys”.

After dinner, we all enjoyed lots of laughs and fun stories. Scott and Dennis hit it off immediately. There were lots of fun times, with lots more to come. 🙂

Life is ALWAYS better when shared with good friends, family and good food. 🙂 Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
