So we're getting away for 24 hours this week to have some family time and introduce our kids to the gorgeous Texas Gulf Coast... well, it's not exactly the Caribbean, but it's sandy beaches and salty water. And since I'm a native Texan, I can't wait to introduce my kids to some local spots I visited in my childhood.
Keeping this trip on the frugal side, here's the meal plan for our five meals on the road:
Breakfast #1: Homemade "Egg McMuffins" (me and my husband, Nathan) and whole wheat banana nut mini-muffins (the kids)
Lunch #1: Homemade "Uncrustables", chips, and oranges
Supper #1: Barbecue Pulled Pork sandwiches in the crockpot (warming during afternoon quiet time in the hotel), carrots & dip, homemade cereal bars
Breakfast #2: the hotel continental breakfast
Lunch #2: lunchmeat & cheese sandwiches, chips, grapes & apples (heading home after lunch)
Supper #2: DiGiorno pizza at home so we can unpack and clean up! :-)
Sounds like a plan. I love Galveston. Its not the beautiful beaches of Florida but it is Home to me. That is the beach I know and love. I guess I will never get too old to go to the beach. I love to build sand castles. I am not looking forward to all my grandchildren getting too old to have time for me. Enjoy your trip. I don't have an account so this is A. Elaine
