Today is the first day of our 2-week road trip. Our first stop is Boise, Idaho. It took about 8 hours to get here. However, that was 8 hours of travelling through a bunch of hilly, brown landscape. It was a bit of a boring drive, but we played the State License Plate Game and the Number Sign Game, which occupied our time for most of the trip. We were pleasantly surprised with how many state license plates we have seen already-- 8 different states (including Georgia!) before we even reached I-90!! Upon arriving in Boise, we currently have found 27 states, including Maine, Florida, and Hawaii!
Because of the time zone change, that we weren't really taking into consideration, we didn't arrive at our hotel until 8pm. So, we haven't done much in Boise, except go out to eat. We went to the Westside Drive-In. It is a classic looking drive-in and they have a bunch of different burgers and sandwiches, along with more dinner-style items, like meatloaf. They also have a bunch of different types of milk shakes, so I had to try to Black Raspberry Shake. One thing that is so cute about the drive-in is that
Cascade Mountains
A view in the Cascade Mountains from the car.they also have a pet menu. There are a few items, like a Doggy Icecream Treat and a Bacon Burger Treat, made just for man's best friend. And, if you don't feel like spending money on your pet, they even have dog and cat biscuits for free.
Our hotel room is pretty nice. It's a lot bigger than we thought it was going to be. There is a living room area, with flat screen TV, and the bedroom area has a flat screen TV and a DVD player. We are definitely spoiled, and I'm pretty sure our next couple hotel rooms are going to pale in comparison. Oh well...at least it's a nice way to start off our trip!
