Ramblin' family

Lots of travel this past week.
Started out Thursday morning (behind schedule) from Spokane, Washington, and made it to Idaho Falls by night. Wife and kids all along for the ride, heading out for various family gatherings in Utah and Idaho. So, it's now Wednesday of the following week, it's gone reasonably well. although the first 30 minutes of the trip started out rough.. (click the read more link for details)

We had given all the kids Dramamine (motion sickness meds) to keep them from getting sick about 15 minutes before heading out. Apparently that wsn't enough time. Not 15 minutes after leaving the house, and only 5 minutes from getting onto the freeway. our youngest "hurled" in the car!
Ewwwww.
So we pulled over. and started cleaning him and his pillow and the seats up (and some that he'd spewed onto his older brother). We pulled back onto the main road (Division), and just then I thought to look back, and realized I'd left Drake's pillow on the roof of the car, and watched it fly into the middle lane of the road. Argh!.
So Karina pulled off, and drove back up some side streets, pulled in a parking lot, while I dodged traffic going after the pillow, which miraculously only had a sligth tire mark on one corner.
Luckily, that was about the extent of our (mis) adventures that day.
Took some nice pics of the family (with me included - shocker!) by the falls in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Friday evening, we arrived at the Homestead in the Heber/Midway area of Utah for the Meagher family reunion (my mother's mother's side).
Enjoyed being there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Meeting relatives i hadn't seen in many years.
Kids had a blast with the hot springs heated swimming pool the giant gold fish, geese, ducks, swans etc, and playground.
We then spent two nights in Salt Lake City, Utah.... more later, have to go....
