Everyone's first reaction when I tell them I'm from Idaho is, "so you grew up on a potato farm?" Which may be true for a few people, but the majority of people who grew up there know it's a lot more than just potatoes. Here are 10 things you actually know to be true if you grew up in Idaho.
1. It's a lot more than just potatoes.
To be honest, I don't think I have ever even seen a potato farm.
2. Summertime is amazing.
What's better than hanging out by a lake with your best friends?
3. But winter is the best.
One word... Skiing!
4. You learned how to ski before you could walk.
Ski bums for life!
5. Hiking is one of your favorite past times.
You always know where to go to get the perfect Insta pic!
6. You know almost everyone in your town.
When a new person moved there, it was super exciting.
7.You're pretty used to seeing animals in your yard.
And sometimes they end up in your house.
8. Hot springs over hot tubs any day.
The long drive out there is totally worth it!
9. You can't stand tourists.
OK, I get that tourism is where a lot of the town's income comes from, but they can't drive in the snow and they always cut me off while skiing.
10. You get really excited when Idaho is mentioned.
Especially when it's on Vogue's "Top Places to Travel in 2017" list.
11. Idaho will always be your home.
