It’s the weekend before we leave Monday morning for our month-long trip. Fiona is excited to see her sister Rachelle. That’s a photo there of the two of them last August when Rachelle came to Rice Lake, Wisconsin to visit.
What do you take with you when you know you’ll be gone a month? And you’re on a budget and know you don’t want to eat out too much so you have to bring food stuffs along. Easy! We’ve done this so often it really doesn’t take us long at all.
Joel and I did some shopping for on-the-road snacks and drinks yesterday. Things like:
- Water, iced tea, apple juice boxes for Fiona, lemonade mix, hot cocoa mix for Fiona
- Chips, pretzels, pita crackers, fruit & grain bars
- Black olives (Sue loves those), three-bean salad, baked beans
- Chocolate – milk chocolate and M&Ms for Fiona, lots of dark chocolate for the adults
We still have to get the giant jar of green olives and Sue has to make bread rolls for making vegetable sandwiches for the road. Isn’t this exciting?
