For the last year, our commitment to eating healthy has been such that we have planned our meals even when on vacation. (we took a cooler to disney world!)

But most people don’t want to plan so much. Our culture has become fast paced and spontaneous. People don’t want to take their coolers to Disney. We want easy, we want convenient, and we want fast.

Orlando and I are dealing with this precise issue this weekend. Last night we got in the car to drive to Cape Canaveral for my father’s speech at NASA. My dad told us about it a couple of weeks ago and told us to make a mini vacation out of it. But the truth is that we put off the mini vacation until the last minute. Between school starting for the boys, work schedules, working on this blog, and all the other commitments we have… We even forgot we were leaving on wednesday evening.
So yesterday after a full day of work and school, I packed some quick bags at 5 pm and got in the car at 6:45pm. Quite spontaneous!!! As soon as we hit the road the famous question surfaced… What are we going to eat when we get hungry??? For the first time in a long time we had no plan.

I guess this is a good experience for us because it is what most people go through. People pack their tooth brushes, clothes, and phone chargers… But people don’t pack their food. So from now until Monday I will blog about what we are eating and how we are managing to stay as healthy as possible during this spontaneous, poorly planned vacation. This will be an interesting challenge. Wish us luck!!!!!!
