Eating "In"

Friday, my husband brought home an article from the Chicago Sun Times about eating while traveling. The gist of it was healthy eating - to pack things so as not to be tempted with junk food.

One of the suggestions was to make sure to get out of the car and sit down for the meal. This is one we, the Pusateri's, disagree with. We are all sitting in a car for hours, do we really want to sit more without any progress?

What we prefer is to eat while we are driving along. When we do make a pit stop, we use this time to burn off some energy and get the kinks out of our legs.

We like to spend our time getting there vs. sitting there - it seems to lessen the "are we there yet?" and helps with the wiggles.
