While the youngest Kardasho-Jenners were living their best, most rainbow French braided lives, the older ones were like, "Yeah, no." Instead, they jetted to the literal opposite of sunny Coachella Valley: Iceland.

The country of Iceland, where it is currently 36 degrees, is now the home of Kim, Kourtney, Kanye West, as well as family friend Jonathan Cheban. Though it's been speculated that the trip is not, in fact, a ruse to escape the flower crowned masses and instead likely a way to celebrate Kourtney's 37th birthday (it's today), E! reports that they've actually gone because Kanye's shooting a video there.

Either way, smart move.
