Vacation-I’m pretty sure the definition reads something like relaxing, enjoyable, maybe even unforgettable.\u00a0 Have you ever ridden in the car for 12 hours with three kids under the age of nine?\u00a0 This gives a different definition to vacationing.\u00a0 When it was just the two of us on vacation, we’d stop at a rest stop and have a nice picnic lunch or dinner that I packed in a cooler.\u00a0 Fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, something to drink and a blanket under a tree.\u00a0 Much healthier and less expensive than stopping for fast food.\u00a0 It gave us a chance to get out of the car, and feel refreshed when we got back in to drive some more.<\/p>\n

Part of vacationing is eating out.\u00a0 We did this also.\u00a0 We planned on eating at certain special restaurants.\u00a0 We ate a lot of seafood.\u00a0 It was great!\u00a0 Even the kids enjoyed it.\u00a0 Joe’s Crab Shack <\/a>in Kemah was yummy, and yes, we had fries.\u00a0 I believe in moderation, and everything fits.\u00a0 We also had planned on eating at a local restaurant\/bar that has a web cam, called The Spot<\/a>.\u00a0 We showed the kids the web cam, and that you could watch the ocean while eating, \"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span>and our relatives back home could watch us eat!\u00a0 Pretty cool!\u00a0 The Spot also had great local seafood.\u00a0 It was very fun.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The whole point is that no one ate fast food every day.\u00a0 We had a variety of foods, especially local fare.\u00a0 When we did eat fast food, the kids asked for milk and fruit, so the corn dogs and chicken fingers were balanced.\u00a0 Planning ahead made our eating healthier and less expensive.\u00a0 We splurged with calories and money when it was important to us.\u00a0 Also, we balanced our meals with lots of time spent on the beach.\u00a0 No one complained!\u00a0 I hope your summer vacation turns out as nice!<\/p>\n
