Sun Valley, ID.....Does this feel right?

Pretty much since we pulled out of Rochester, it's been a joke for a family member to say "does this feel right?" when we're crusin' in/thru a new area.  When we pulled into our current campground, the kids both said "this feels right".  The fact that it has a pool, recreation room and a waterpark across the way perhaps tainted that 'feeling'.  
Now it's my turn.... "this felt right".  
Arrived in Ketchum, ID Friday for supper at a great Italian place that Brendan had been to a couple years ago. (That time, he saw Arnold Schwarzenegger at a nearby table,  but no celebrity spottings this time.) 
Saturday we went on a great run right outside our hotel on a paved bike path at the bottom of the ski-hill that winds thru the surrounding towns.  A sweet place for outdoor recreation and it's very quaint !
 
 Gondola ride up Sun Valley Ski Area
We took the long way home on Saturday and drove further up the valley and came out on the other side to this view. 

The ranchers were moving sheep way down there in the valley (hence the white blob in middle,left)
I never knew Idaho was so beautiful!
Now, back to reality...the price tag is just a tiny bit high in Sun Valley area - 
but definitely a future vacation spot. Visit again? That certainly 'feels right' too! :)
