What should I see or do in Boise?

My buddy just moved to Boise and invited me to come visit for the weekend. Ticket is booked, I'm doin it. But what should I see or do while he is at work? Good bars, restaurants, museums?

    Compared to Seattle, not much, and especially this time of year. All the interesting things I can think of to do in the area tend to start with "leave Boise."

    There's a place called Riverfront Park that I think has some pretty trails to walk on. There's a Thai restaurant downtown (Mai Thai) that's okay. You can gawk at the tiny capitol building and visit the Idaho Wheat Commission. The Boise Co-Op is awesome, but unimpressive if you already have a PCC back home. Farmers Markets are done for the year.

    Sorry, I really thought about it pretty hard!

    My in-laws live in Boise and there is nothing to do and nothing to see. In the summer it is close to lots of great stuff and winter is nice for skiing but, the town itself is worthless. It doesn't even have that bastion of middle-America, a decent mall.

    The capitol area is interesting though. You can watch as legislators work to oppress the citizenry and attempt to form a perfectly moral, fiscally responsible and combat ready population.

    There's some pretty awesome natural hot springs in the vicinity, if you're into that (and have proper clothing to prevent hypothermia this time of year). There's also some developed commercial ones that don't have the whole hypothermia problem. If nothing else, it's a good excuse to get into some of the pretty mountain country around there.
