Our Summer Adventures Part I

Wow - what a whirlwind adventure . . . and yes . . . it WAS summer!!! As I predicted, once we hit the real heat, we were more than uncomfortable. But it was so totally worth it to feel those hot summer nights again! Ahhhhhhhh - we had such a great time!!!

DAY 1 - we took a flight from Anchorage to Boise, Idaho. Arrived in Boise late afternoon and headed to our hotel. We stayed in a fabulous Suite with a pool and within walking distance of a friendly (and  yummy!) down home diner.

DAY 2 - Dan picked up the RV and we moved in! What a way to travel, I tell ya'!!! It was so worth it. We stopped at Costco and Walmart on our way out of town to stock up on real food and baby supplies.

The drive that day was great. We took our time, didn't need to stop for potty breaks, snacks or stretches. The kids had so much fun with the freedom of an RV - not having to be strapped down all the time and just feeling like they were in a moving hotel!

We stopped at Shoshone falls near Twin Falls, Idaho - a place Dan had been as a kid - and it was absolutely breath-taking. Unfortunately the kids were less than enthusiastic due to the stifling heat. But once we found the icy stream to immediately bring our body temperatures down, the smiles returned to their faces. Harrison spent some time trying to catch frogs as well.

  

After the break we jumped back in the RV and headed South once again. It wasn't until about 10:00 that night that we finally pulled up to our friends' home in Bountiful, Utah. We met the Sager family in Vermont when Dan was attending Vermont Law School. We became great friends and now - we both have 4 kids - it was so great to see them and their kids - see how they've grown - see their beautiful home and just catch up. When we finally dragged ourselves out of there around midnight, we drove to Layton and parked in Dan's sister's driveway . . .
