Monday morning Dan picked up our rental car (which only had 84 miles on it!) and we headed out over the scenic beauty of central Idaho. It's really gorgeous for anyone who likes shrubs. And dust. We stopped for lunch in the small town of Carey, Idaho at a place called 93 Express. We'd recommend it. It was either that or the grill at the Sinclair gas station. But really, it was good. And their chicken nuggets were shaped like dinosaurs, which immediately won over Sam and Afton. We drove by Craters of the Moon state park and I made the kids get out and take a picture.
That's a keeper.
Right after passing Craters of the Moon we got a big rock chip in the windshield of our rental car. Of course. We'll see if they charge us for it... The lady at the return said they'd had so many rock chips lately that they'd stopped charging. But ours was big enough that it was questionable.
We arrived in Yellowstone around 5 and met up with Dan's parents and Dan's brother's family (Matt, Amy, Noah, Ethan, Mack, Hunter, and Luke) at our rental cabin. It was Dan's parents' birthday (they have the same birthday!) so we celebrated with cake, cupcakes, and ice cream.
We visited the rest of the night and planned our adventures for the next day.

South central Idaho has it's own "beauty." And towns are few and far apart. So glad you had such a wonderful and safe trip!
Girlfriend, you already blogged about this?!?! On. The. Ball.
