Our First (or Fast) Trip Back to Idaho

We had not been back to Idaho since moving to Washington in June. All of a sudden I had this urgency to see my dad and make sure he was all right. So Dennis planned it so the kids would only have to miss one day of school. We left on Friday morning at 6:15 am and did not arrive until 9:30 pm that night. This was with only two stops total: one bathroom break and one in Boise to see his mom for a short while. It was a long drive. The fog pretty much stayed with us the whole way. So we spent Saturday and Sunday trying to see as much family as possible. It was just not enough time to get it all in. But I am grateful for what we got to do. I am regretting not getting any pictures of the Gould side of the family though! The only excuse I have is that it was late and I am brain dead lately. So next time be prepared for me to make it up.

My mom and I attended a session at the Rexburg Temple.

I got to see (and hold) my new little niece, Paisley who was just born on January 15.

The sunset was beautiful Sunday evening.








Then it was up bright and early 3:30 am Monday morning for the long ride home.

Dennis got to eat at Dick's Burgers By the Bagful in Spokane. Which he was pretty excited about. He ate there about 10 years ago and thought it was awesome and a great deal. To his surprise and not mine.. he admitted that it was not as great as he remembered and I had to admit it was not as bad as I remembered . Never the less, We won't be going back there any time in the near future.

The ride home seemed much more tolerable. The weather was better and we even saw sunshine for a short period of time.

It was a quick trip but, well worth it.
To all my friends in Poky: I promise to visit next trip!! That is if you still want me to?
