Trip to McCall

We've been wanting to see McCall, Idaho, for a while, but never have made the time to do it. Dad and Mom Starr have wanted to see it as well, so we decided to take a day and head up there together. Well, let's just say what used to be a quick 'jump in their king cab truck and go' wasn't quite so easy this time. To start off with, we were already leaving over an hour later than planned. We finally got all of the kids stuff together, the cooler packed and positioned in the back, and then we realized that the front seat wouldn't slide forward far enough for Kaitlyn's car seat to fit in the back. Oh, GREAT! It didn't make much sense to take separate vehicles, but our SUV wont hold all of us. So we decided to take their van (which they had to drive all the way back home to get, then go to the gas station AGAIN). We finally got on the road after noon.
It was a beautiful drive, and we even saw some snow.
Going up all the winding roads and all the curves was a little more than I could take while sitting in the back seat, so I was left with two options: Get sick all over the car, or go to sleep. I chose the latter. It was a really nice and much-needed nap I must say!
We stopped and ate lunch, then just drove around for a while and headed back home a different way... more highway and less curves! (I still fell asleep again for part of the way home.)

(For those that didn't know, I have proof... there actually ARE trees in Idaho!)

We ate at The Pancake House for lunch, and they had a Christmas shop next door. This sleigh was sitting outside. Talon thought it was pretty neat!
