Surprise!

We are in Oregon visiting Ian's family. We video chatted with them Christmas evening after dinner then decided to stay up all night to take down Christmas, do laundry, pack up, and take the new minivan for it's first road trip. We left early (5:30am) Saturday. The drive was made infinitely better when we stopped at the Walmart in Burley, ID (our first stop) and bought Weston a Buzz and a Zurg. Neither boy let go of his Buzz and other Toy Story guy the rest of the trip. The drive was clear and uneventful (luckily). We have been having a grand ole time playing games, eating good food, and catching up on our sleep so far. We have plans to go on a date, see Sherlock Holmes, take everyone to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), and visit some friends. I will post all about our second spontaneous trip in a month when we get back New Year's Eve. Until then, enjoy your Christmas break! We will too.
