Summer break begins! 7/1

Long overdue on this post!  It was so nice to finally take a break from work. This was suppose to be a trip to Malaysia - to go climb Mount Kinabalu.  But after some thought, we decided to just spend it within the US and Canada.  

First of, a flight to Boise, Idaho! Within 5-10 minutes of entering the airport terminal, Bobby already got a couple of compliments of his t-shirt. LOL! 

Yeah, I actually have the other shirt that say "Legend". Ha ha! My friend had actually bought them as a 50th birthday gift :-)

These boys are growing up so fast. Seems like we haven't been on an airplane as a family for a very long time!

They travel so light! 10-day vacation and this is all they bring???

We are enjoying the airport lounge as Daddy has accumulated plenty of points :-)

Graham seems to have really taken into taking photos - especially of airplanes!  Glad someone is using my big camera:

OMG, we get to our rental car... and it has the smallest trunk!

Daddy goes back to ask for a larger car. In the meantime, we continue to take goofy photos. Ha!

Finally, after the 3rd try with the rental company, we finally get a decent sized car. 

Idaho almost feels like Arizona!

We stop for a quick meal. O.M.G, check out this milkshake. YIKES!

Looks like a messy burger!

Looks like a Happy Charlie though :-)

Okay, definitely looking like AZ too with all those boulders! I believe Boise, ID is called "high desert":

There was a great little coffee shop not far from the hotel.  Yummy Greek yogurt in the morning!

Cool buildings:

We decided to head over to an air museum:

There's so much in here!

Also met up with a long time friend here. It's been over 25 years!!

Graham and Charlie are keeping themselves occupied:

There was something about this cat now, but I can't remember! Perhaps something to do with the street name?!

Thank goodness for the internet - it's called Black Cat Road.  Ha ha!

I love how the electrical boxes are painted around here:

Another cool building with an outdoor installation:

And actually, that's right next to our hotel.  Cool!!

We drove all the way out here to eat at In-and-Out.  LOL!!

I think our bellies really drive a lot of our road trips destinations during vacation, ha ha!!

Quick drive around - Idaho capital state building:

Pretty!

Aren't these paintings/wraps so cool?!

Family we-fie!

I like this one.  Bob still doesn't get it why I find them so fascinating.  LOL!

Pretty funny with the signage: 250 years and still no metric - Ha!

We got a taste of this chocolate bar.  It was definitely "interesting":

Okay, onwards to Seattle, WA!  And what are the odds to drive by this billboard.  That's the golf tour I used to play on!  We didn't have a golf tournament at this location though:

Peaceful drive:

We make it to the hotel and I'm determined to keep working out. Have to keep my GolfForever streak going.  The boys keep me company in the gym:

Showing off our muscles - LOL!

And then, just lazing around with their phones.  Ha ha!

We got this little duck from a book store. Look how tiny it is compared to a teaspoon!

Boys are needing to do some homework - thankfully all online this summer:

It's been so relaxing already.  This vacation was long overdue! :-)
