What is it about trips that make you afraid you're going to be hungry? Like there aren't grocery stores, fast food joints and convience stores all along the way. We'll be gone two days. That's 48 hours...ish.
Vince and Erin used to live in Charlotte, a two-hour drive. By myself, I could take a water bottle and candy bar and be fine. With the kids, I think it was sodas and a bag of cookies. This time, it's a five-hour trip and I'm packing like we're spending six weeks in the Sahara! A 12-pack of bottled water, two boxes of Crystal Light singles, two 6-packs of sodas, chips, cookies of various assortments, crackers, sandwich stuff, bananas. Truthfully, we will be traveling through dinnertime, so I planned for us to eat sandwiches on the road. My reasoning is if we don't stop at Mickey D's tonight, we can have a nice dinner tomorrow night in Jacksonville, if that's what we all decide to do. But I could be going a bit overboard. We could have had a nice dinner for what I spent on traveling snacks!
Okay, I can rationalize this. We are probably not going to eat half of it, so next week the kids are going to have some bang up after school snacks. And I...am going on a diet.
