Boise

Mike had to work in Boise, so we stopped there on the way home.  We got a hotel and were the only ones in the pool.

The boys swam and jumped, and played for hours.  We didn't bring our bag of swim toys, but that didn't matter.

Allie joined them too and they had a good time.

Jake was too cool for the pool.

We have some cousins in the area, so we called them and they joined us.

It was a pool full of cute boys.

The ride home didn't seem so long after we left Boise.  We were there before we knew it.

We breathed a sigh of relief as we pulled into the valley and knew we had made it.  It was a really fun trip.  We saw some beautiful sights (understatement).  Highway 1 was awesome.  The Leprechaun pulled some super steep hills, and then went back down the other side in the lowest gear possible and still wanted to get out of control.  We drove the windiest roads I've ever seen and we loved every minute of it (if I'm being honest, there were a few minutes when I was scared, but still...) There were some unexpected perks of going during the pandemic.  The traffic was light and sometimes we drove hours without seeing another car.  

Things were closed, but thanks to Mike, we didn't miss out on anything important.  We enjoyed being together as a family.  It was just another really great vacation for the books.  We are so blessed.  Life is good.
