Oregon 2017: Day 10 & 11 - Boise & Home

We woke up Sunday morning to a yummy breakfast that Nate and Amy made for us.  Allie and Megan actually slept in a little bit, so that was nice.  After we all ate breakfast we got changed for the day.  We then packed up our stuff, put it in the car, and said our good-bye's.  We really love Nate and his family and enjoy spending time with them.
So it was back to the car for us all.  The drive went pretty smoothy.  We stopped in Burns for lunch and let the kids play at the McDonald's play place.  After lunch it was straight to Boise to check into our hotel.
We got checked in and situated before going over to my cousins Mandy's house.  It was so nice to see her and her family.  My other cousin Rachel and her family came over too.  We had an impromptu barbecue dinner.  I always enjoy spending time with my extended family, as it doesn't happen very often.
After dinner and letting the kids run off their energy playing on their trampoline, we headed back to our hotel for a good nights sleep.  We were all tired and ready to get back on our normal schedule...which didn't really happen.  We were all so tired we slepted in until 8:30 am (which was like 7:30 Oregon time) and by the time we got all ready we missed the breakfast by 2 minutes.  Breakfast only went until 9:00 am and they locked the doors right at 9:00.  We were all pretty disappointed but figured this would get us on the road faster.
We checked out of our hotel and got all loaded in the car before going through the McDonald's drive thru for some breakfast.  After getting our food it was back on the road.  We were all ready to be going back home and luckily the drive went by pretty quickly.  We did have to stop on Ogden to pick up Tony's car.  We grabbed some lunch on the way to pick up his car and then it was only less than an hour to home.
Once home it was the usual unpack and unpack some more, then do some laundry and then some more.  Always good to be back home from vacation.  Max brought Koda over to us and we were all very glad to have him back with us.  We all had such a great time.  Another great trip to Oregon on the books!!!
