A date night in Ketchum

Last night, my husband and I took advantage off the YMCA's Sitter Saturday and headed out with some friends for Gallery Walk.  The rain stopped, there was a rainbow and lots of locals and tourists enjoying our fine galleries, plus some wine.  In our two hour "walk", we only managed to make it to two galleries. We were too busy talking to many of our friends that we ran into.  It definitely was a social night and a great night!

Luckily for us, one of the galleries we stopped at was DeNovo and Jamie Lee Curtis just happened to be having a book signing there. Since I have young kids, love books and am slightly star struck, I just had buy a book and have Mrs. Curtis sign it herself.

Did you know that her "Where do Balloons Go" book was dreamed up at Atkinsons Park in Ketchum?  Once upon a time, Jamie Lee Curtis attended a birthday party there and they let all the balloons go up in the sky.  One little girl asked her mama, "Where do balloons go?" and voila!  a book was created.   Of course, I had to buy 3 of those books!

After admiring art and mingling with friends, we headed to Ketchum's newest restaurant, Cornerstone.  At 8:00pm, that place was PACKED.  Again, we ran into so many people that we knew. That is one of my favorite things about Ketchum, everywhere you go it's like running into "family" and you feel so welcome.  Cornerstone is a really cool (for lack of a better word) building.  This building is about 100 years and one of Ketchum's oldest buildings.  Cornerstone offers great food and it has only just begun.  In the near future, they will be offering family nights.  Can't wait to hear more details about family night and enjoy Cornerstone with my family and more friends!

We went home with huge smiles and big bellies.  It's going to be a great summer in the valley and I can't wait to experience it all.
