On The James: Island Park + Sun Valley

Island Park for Ted is is very similar to Sun Valley to me. Not because of the similarites in location or atmosphere because in that aspect they are very different, but because in a way, we both grew up in each of those locations.
I have been going to Sun Valley for as long as I can remember. Driving up in the dark in the old beige and blue van while watching Robin Hood (the cartoon version), learning to snowboard, Kyndra being run over while tubing on dollar mountain, playing in the stream, to always wanting the unit C2 because it had two stories. I have so many memories there being with my family and never wanting to leave. If Ted could choose a place to live in Idaho near both of our families would choose to live near Sun Valley.

Ted has spent many summers in Island Park working with his dad and brother. They would move up there for a time then come back once school started. He knows just about every place that is worth while there and probably the ones that are not as well. Whenever we have gone there together it is almost as if all of his stress and worries don't bother him while being there. There is no need for a television, Ted always has something he wants to do.
