Mystic Hot Springs

My mom and I are having our annual spring break trip and it's so much fun already. We left Boise Monday morning and arrived at Mystic Hot Springs in the evening. The girls were incredible passengers. No crying, no fighting, no whining for over 8 hours. They played, sang, ate, read books, slept. It was the longest road trip I've taken with kids and the best behaved and most delightful they've ever been in the car. It was a miracle I do not take for granted and do not anticipate seeing ever again.

We stayed in the Grow Cabin because I was wary of sleeping in one of the many buses they have to host people. A one room cabin with two beds and a heater sounded more friendly for our group of four. However, my mom snuck a peek into a few buses and said they were really cute and would be fun and cozy.

The first day we were there it poured non-stop all day and night. We got our suits on and swam in one of the hot pools that was the perfect temperature and shallow enough the girls could touch the bottom. We swam for hours until we were starving and it was getting dark. 

The next morning it was supposed to snow, but we had some clear weather before we left. We spent another few hours in the bath tubs up the hill and again in the big pool. The water from the springs was hot as it poured in and it was magical to see the misty hills and bright sun from this very quiet place.

This is just a run down old theater in Monroe, down the street.
