While our main goal on this trip is to have fun and see many amazing wonders, which we certainly have been doing, we had a few personal guidelines to help us make decisions along the way:
1. No fast food – Subway is allowed but we haven’t been there yet and Dairy Queen is allowed for ice cream only. Unfortunately some of the food at tourist places like Niagara was not much better than fast food – we have been having lots of picnics. So far, so good.
2. No Wal-Mart – we were directed to Wal-mart when we asked about the nearest grocery store – but we declined and waited for a better opportunity. So far, so good.
3. Return in better shape than when we left (parents mostly) – no great progress to report on this one, but we are plenty active when we get out of the car, so I think we are holding steady. There will be more hiking in the 2nd part of the trip.
Just a little insight into the strange workings of our minds.
More about our fun day at the Rockies game in another post!!!

Hold your ground on the fast food and Walmarts! It’s our policy too. It’s trickier finding mom and pop places in the midwest. Good luck
Thanks for the encouragement — we made it through the Midwest. The next big challenge may be to find healthy food when we make our way across the South.
Hi,
What a great summer for you all, many hours in the car notwithstanding! I caught up with June and July posts today, finally. Regarding the closed Kellogg’s tour, all you have to do is make sundaes with vanilla ice cream topped with Fruit Loops. That’s what used to be served at the end of the tour!
Hi Sue- We haven’t been stingy with the ice cream, but never thought of sundaes with Fruit Loops! I’m glad you got to see the tour back when there was one.
