Idaho, Washington and HOME!

We spent a pretty good night at the Baymont Hotel in Kellogg, Idaho and started out our day with a hearty breakfast, compliments of them as well. Strangely enough, we started out the day earlier than we had all week, 7:40am. Typically we hadn't been getting on the road until 8am. It just figures that we get things "perfected" on our last day. The kids were pretty good and we only had to stop once during out 362 mile trek. We stopped for gas and lunch in Ellensburg. We spent a tad too much time at lunch, but we still managed to roll in to my parents house at about 2:30 or 3:oopm. Let me tell you, I was glad to see a familiar place and more familiar faces. My husband and sons were there waiting for us to arrive with flowers and cards in hand for my sister and I and he even bought cards for the kiddos!

The loading of the truck took the 4 of us about 8 hours. The unloading took us only 2 hours! It sure comes out easier than it goes in! Of course there were 8 of us too! So after the unloading we all headed out to our favorite restaurant for dinner, Puarta Vallarta. It was a really nice dinner, especially since we didn't have to rush anywhere. Two daquairi's sure make things even nicer!

So here I sit, at home in my own chair watching my own television, thinking about heading to bed in my own bed! The only downer to today was my little dog Lady wasn't as excited to see me as I was to see her. I think she's a bit bent out of shape that I left her so long. Of course it could be the fact that I was covered in Dewey Dog hair. She probably figures I've been cheating on her. Hopefully I can make it up to her! At any rate, I am home and so is my baby sister! That's all that matters.
