Day 1, a kid's perspective

Andrew
Today we finished up minute packing, and then about 30 minutes away from home we found out that I forgot my running shoes and now mom and dad are coming up with ideas to make me pay for new shoes.  

Jesse
Today we got packed and we got to go to Jordan's small house.  We also went to dinner with Jordan to Dennis (Dennys).


Nathan
Toaday, we started our multi-week vacation to Arizona, California and back. We had a small delay before leaving, because someone got stuck at work. When we got to our destination, at Jordan Sodeman's dorm room, it was about midnight. We went out to Denny's, and enjoyed $4 all you can eat pancakes. Three of us decided to do a contest of "whoever eats the most wins." Jordan ate a whopping 1 and a 1/2, while Solomon ate 5. I went into the contest with the thought of, "this is just for fun" but when it started I decided to win, eating 5 and a 1/2. i think. That night we spent crammed into Jordan's dorm, instead of some other place.

Solomon
Today we started our road trip! We have made it from our house to Boise ST. College to see Jordan Sodeman, and the four of us our going to cram ourselves into his dorm room for the night while our parents get a hotel. We went to Denny's with him, where he instigated an all-you-can-eat $4 pancakes contest. The pancakes were the size of the Travis', not Taylor-sized. Jordan ate one and a half, while I ate Five and a half. In all, he called himself a girl fourteen times that night. What a great night.

And the Parents
Yes, we got stuck at work a little longer than expected. Rob's boss got sick leaving him with three conference calls scheduled back to back to back - forget Rob's already scheduled meetings. In any case, we got out the door a little late - but the pass was clear. We didn't run into any snow between Seattle and Boise State.

When we got there, we chilled a little in Jordan's dorm, met a couple colorful room mates and took off for Denny's (which was just down the street). There, the boys enjoyed breakfast at 1:00AM and heard a little of Jordan's mission trip to Asia. Exciting stuff. On the way back, Jordan asked if he could jam the boys in his room for the night. Best wingman ever.

In addition to Andrew's shoes being left behind, we discovered that one of our boys claimed Rob's travel toothbrush. If those are the only two things we are missing, then maybe we are doing OK.
