Saturday morning we got up, packed the van, and started driving. We didn't leave super early, but we also didn't stick around for long. We drove to Boise and impressively only stopped once in Pendleton. We arrived at our hotel in Boise in the late afternoon. If we didn't already have a paid-for, reserved hotel room I would have voted that we just keep driving until we get home, but it was fine.
The hotel actually had a really fun pool. It was huge and had a 2 foot deep kiddie pool attached to it. There was also a spa and a huge screen at the far end of the pool that had Disney Jr. playing on it. The kids made friends and had a blast swimming. Talia LOVED that she could walk around and play on her own in the kiddie pool area and Beckett had fun splashing in there too.
After the pool we got dressed and went to dinner at Dickey's BBQ. Yum. On the way in Weston told me, "Mom, I feel like I've been eating too much junk. Chicken sounds really good." Which would be great except that apparently my seven year old's idea of health food is dino nuggets from a chain BBQ restaurant. Yikes! :) It really was hilarious though.
Sunday morning we checked out of the hotel and went to breakfast at Denny's, which tasted amazing, before hitting the road one last time. We only stopped once, in Tremonton, before pulling in at home. It was a long trip with a lot of driving, but the kids did really well in the car and we loved getting to visit with all of our family and do some things on our own as well. Definitely a fun and memorable family vacation.
Yes, we drove 2,310 miles with four children. Thank goodness for apple devices. And headphones.

Woot!!! What a great vacation. So many fun times (and a few not so fun times to help you appreciate the rest). LOL And now it's blogged and you are officially done with summer vacation. :)
That sounds like a great . . . If not slightly exhausting vacation.
