Phantom of the Opera Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we drove up to Lava Hot Spring, Idaho to spend the holiday with Michael's grandparents and lots of other relatives on his Mom's side. This was my first trip to Idaho. We drove up Tuesday and stayed with Grandma Kay and Roger the first night.

We had a really fun time getting to know them better. The next day about 40 people showed up to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. I got to meet lots of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. It was fun. And the food was great!

So here's the interesting part. Michael's Mom offered to treat us to a night at a bread and breakfast in Lava Hot Springs. We were really excited about a night out, but she wouldn't tell us where we were going...

She finally gave us the address right when we were walking out the door. So we drove just five minutes from Grandmas right up the mountain to this nice looking bed and breakfast called Lion's Gate Manor.

We very quickly found out we would be staying in the Phantom of the Opera room. We were absolutely not expecting that, but still very excited. The room turned out to be amazing and HUGE.

So you enter the room through a secret door behind the bookcase :) Then you walk down the spiraling staircase.




Super nice huge bath tub.


Big King Bed




The Phantom himself. Watching from behind the mirror (Creepy right??!?) I turned him off the second I saw him.



We had so much fun! We had our own theater room you can't see from the pictures. (Box 5 reserved) So of course we watched the movie. It was only appropriate. The next morning we woke up to a big delicious breakfast before heading back to Provo. Thanks Leslie for such a fun night out!
