It is the time for our annual drive to the beautiful states of Idaho/Montana/& Washington to see my BEAUTIFUL family. haha But seriously, this is something we do EVERY summer since my Dad's family lives out of state and this is the only time we get to see them. His family is Crazy! literally.
But i love seeing them. We only made it to Missoula, MT last year because my sister couldn't get enough time off to go all the way to Washington to my Grandmas. We met up with my dad's best friend Larry. And lemme just show you how cute together they are...

Classic right?? You should see these too! They are hilarious!! They get laughing SO hard they are crying & squirming like a fish out of water.
Anyways, we went to lunch & shopping with them and it was super fun.
So, since Elyse works @ Hertz, we always rent a sweet car to drive there that 1) is bigger than any car we (will ever) own 2) makes us look wayy cool & 3) i dont have to have my arm/leg touch Anyone elses for the 14 hour drive! I love it. The past few years we have rented a QX56 or something Huge like that. & this year we have toned it down to a Chevy Traverse ? i think. It has TWO sunroofs! I couldn't be more satisfied.
Since i've started this P90X crap, i have tried to be more cautious about what i eat. FAIL! & vacations = JUNK FOOD! constantly. In the car for over an hour makes you bored, so you eat. Hungry along the way but have to hurry, you stop for fast food. You are staying @ a hotel, you go OUT to eat for dinner. We always seem to have somewhat of healthy meals @ my gmas. But she seems to like vegetables & meats; which i HATE! Needless to say, my diet plan will fail even more.

Vacations are always nice to get away from the real world. You have NOTHING to worry about while your away. And i love vacations w/my family especially. First of all, they are a blast: as long as we can all get along. and believe me, its TOUGH! Second, they pay for almost everything (no complaints :) ) & Finally, you make memories that you prolly never would make just at home. Honestly, a vacation for my family- even to somewhere like Park City or Bear Lake is a BIG Deal! We never really go out other than birthday dinners and the occasional Saturday morning trips to Home Depot (i hate that place). We don't enjoy the outdoors. My parents don't like being around LOTS of people. We like sports. Sports events. And dinner @ places where sports are playing. Meet the Williams.
Anyways, i'm about to get off work. Time to find something for me & Nicholas to do tonight.
Adios!
