Tip # 2
Plan your meals out for the trip. This does not mean EVERYTHING you eat has to come from the cooler packed from home. DO plan on some times to eat out or enjoy Grandma’s special dish when you are passing through town. Recently on a road trip, I knew we would be stopping in Asheville, North Carolina. Obviously, a lovely dinner on the town was in order. I researched restaurants that is aligned with this way of eating.
The internet is a wonderful thing. Some may see this planning as limiting. I find it to be the opposite. A little research let me know just how many great places there were to choose from and Asheville remains on my list as a place I have to get back to try another fun culinary experience.
