We started our morning off with Tony taking my parents to the airport. He had to go into the Murray Cannery that morning and then he got my parents to the airport where they flew into Oregon. After he got back we were able to load up the van and then head out towards Boise.
We stopped and got some lunch in some random town and we were able to find a fun sit down restaurant to enjoy lunch. They had a green dinosaur outside the restaurant that they kids enjoyed checking out.
It was a good thing we had a good lunch because we ended up in a huge traffic jam because of an accident. We sat on the freeway for a long time without moving and then when we finally did, it was very slowly. It put us back about an hour but we were thankful that we were not in the accident and that we were only driving to Boise that day.
When we got to our hotel outside of Boise (in Caldwell) we found out that their pool was closed because of an incident earlier in the day but should be reopened the next day. We were pretty bummed because we love swimming and that's half the reason to go to a hotel. But we decided to go out to dinner instead. Tony found us a fun pizza place to go and enjoy. The restaurant was nice and the food was good.
On our way to the restaurant we saw a sign that said that the local college was having a baseball game that night. Tony looked into it and saw that they still had plenty of seats. The younger three kids didn't want to go to the game, so Tony took us back to the hotel before taking Tyler to the game. He said that they had a good time and enjoyed the game (and the crazy local drunks). So that was a fun unexpected activity that they were able to do, so I was happy about that. Me and the kids hung out in our cool hotel room. We had a huge bathtub that the girls enjoyed swimming in with their goggles and some swim toys. It was the next best thing to the pool. So over all the first day of our vacation was eventful and fun.
