The sun was soaked, paparazzi was spotted, Mickey and Minnie were visited, the Lego inauguration was impressive, miles were traveled, souvenirs were purchased, and Idaho was once again realized.

We’re back!

What I learned on our trip:

When you trade your tried and true Maui timeshare, remember there are those choice few properties in the trading mix that will take you back to 1984 in all its powder blue and mauve glory.
Checking your kids out of school and taking them on a surprise trip ANYWHERE is awesome!
A GPS navigation in the rental car was pure genius on the part of Hertz.
I’ll be first in line to petition for an In-N-Out Burger in the greater (or lesser) Boise area.
You’ll have tons of email and blogging catching up to do when your 1984 timeshare hasn’t heard of WiFi.
Star Tours is fun the first time and gets a little monotonous after about 5 trips to The Moon of Endor.
Seeing the mix of people at Disneyland will make you feel better about your physique.
But looking through your trip pictures may make you change your mind.
It’s hard after 6 days of sunny California to come home to a windy 35 degrees.
After 6 days of reprieve, it’s hard to get back to blogging.

I’m off to do laundry, emails, grocery shopping, bills, phone calls, and repack so I can fly to San Francisco tomorrow for my sister’s baby shower. But here are some lots of pictures from our trip. I’ll be back on Sunday to catch up on reading all the blogs I missed while I was away.

Happy Weekending!!!

For us, every Monday night is Family Night. We usually have a short lesson, sing songs, play games, and have a treat. Sometimes I’m well prepared and the evening goes smoothly and sometimes I’m flying by the seat of my pants. It’s much more effective and enjoyable when I’m prepared though.

I was thrilled when, as I was scrolling through my daily blogroll, I came upon Sally’s post on Inauguration Day. I love Sally. She is smart, funny, kind, and organized. She’s put together a family night game plan that I plan to use tonight. I was so thrilled that I wanted to share her post with anyone who might be looking for a way to share this historic day with their kids.

Happy Martin Luther King Monday!
