Yes, I know you are immediately thinking potatoes. After all, I don't think there might be other places in the globe where you can eat ice cream potato or visit a potato museum other than Idaho. But there is more to the state than the spud: you could stay at the Dog Park Inn, a hotel shaped like a Beagle, or you could watch a football game played at the Smurf Turf, the first blue turf used in a stadium. For you, the literary type, it might be worth knowing that Ernest Hemingway is buried in this state, at Ketchum Cemetery. Enjoy the list of these titles set in Idaho; and, yes, potatoes did make it into the list:
