Chipley, Florida to Rexburg, Idaho

We are FINALLY back in Idaho! We left on Tuesday morning from Chipley, Florida and arrived in Rexburg on Friday afternoon. It was a very LONG 2200 mile drive, but actually not too bad. Parker was really, really good and pretty much only screamed when we had to put him back into his seat. Let me just say that the built-in DVD player in the van we were driving was a LIFESAVER!!! He watched movie after movie. We drove on average about 9 hours each day, and ate out every day...which I'm glad to be done with! We tried really hard to eat as healthy as we could by going to Walmart and buying a salad for lunch, fruit to snack on, etc. I'm totally ready for nice home-cooked meals though!!

It's weird to come back, but not really have a place of our own to come back to. It doesn't really make coming home from a long trip feel the same. Oh well, we are still glad to be back and have a little break before we hit the road again for Boise to fly to Seattle for Christmas. Once we get back from Seattle however, it's off to Kansas for about 4 months. I mapquested the route from Idaho to Kansas, and it's ONLY 14 hours!!! I used to cringe when we would have to drive 12-14 hours to go somewhere, but now after about a 32 hour trip, 14 hours is nothing...funny how that is huh?
