I desperately need some natural Vitamin D

We live in B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Meridian, Idaho and most days its great that we live in a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains but in the winter, unfortunately we are known for what is called an inversion. This simply means that the fog gets stuck here in the valley and we have to wait for low pressure to move it out of here. This is what the skies have looked like for at least two weeks now:Yesterday we headed north to the mountains in search of some sunshine. We drove about 35 miles to the small town of Idaho City (pop.435). It was cold, only about 26 degrees, but there were BLUE skies!Driving south, back to the grey skies of Boise, with sun glasses on (I had to wipe the dust from them because they had not been worn in so long) with the sun beating in through the truck windshield, I had a smile on my face the whole trip, soaking in as much of the vitamin D sunshine that I could.

Lets hope the weather man is correct and we can see our own blue skies right out the front window by Wednesday or Thursday.
