Travel to Idaho - Days 4, 5 & 6

Ever heard of storm chasers? Well we are storm run-awayers! We got up bright and early Tues morning and learned that a snow storm was going to hit right where we were headed later that evening, so we decided to outrun it!! We left lovely Nebraska (hoping to never, ever return again) and headed WEST! Let me just say, the wind was HOWLING!! Which isn't normally a big deal unless you are pulling an RV in the dead of winter. It was VERY slow going but we made it out of Nebraska and into Wyoming! Wyoming was the state we were dreading most because of its winter weather history. WELL...it wasn't bad at all! A few snow flurries here and there (and the incredible wind) but we made it all the way across! We decided to keep on, keep on, and headed for the Utah border. Through Park City, into Salt Lake and we BEAT THE STORM!

It ended up being 10.5 hours in the car, but so worth it to have family to stay and play with, and no icky hotel bed to sleep in! Kids were once again fabulous on the drive. The highlight for me was when Alexis read a Bailey Kids book to Ethan for over two hours. I loved listening...she is such a good big sister!! Bry was a trooper for such a long day too. She took a nap and hung out with the fam.

After getting into Salt Lake we decided to take a break for a couple of days - since our household goods aren't scheduled to arrive in Boise until Saturday. So we spent Wed at the Children's Museum (with cousins), went to dinner with Thane's bro and girlfriend (so glad to FINALLY meet her!) and went to see the Blindside with Kristy and Colby - which I highly recommend! So great to see family after having been secluded in Ohio the last 8 months of our lives...

Thursday morning we got up and decided to head to Preston, Idaho to spend a day with Thane's parents. That's right - WE MADE IT TO IDAHO! We are so very excited to be so close to home. Tomorrow we close the gap and drive the last 300 miles. We cannot wait! It has been a long trek - but so worth it! I promise pictures are to follow.....
