This past week, my wife and I made the drive to Idaho to celebrate a special milestone—our son’s 36th birthday. Unlike some of our other road trips, this one was straightforward with no detours or sightseeing along the way. The goal was simple: spend time together as a family and enjoy each other’s company without any big agenda.

Celebrating with Good Food

One of the highlights of our visit was, unsurprisingly, the food. My wife treated everyone to her signature chicken nachos, a dish that has become a favorite in our family. We paired that with a rich peanut butter pie for dessert—just the kind of comfort food that makes a family gathering feel special.
