Here's a familiar road trip scenario: You'r
somewhere b tw en Miami and Missoula with
a driver unwilling to stop tor directions and the
back seat brigade demanding food. The thought
of pulling into a fast food restaurant for greasy

minute to pack one.
Many travelers hoping to avoid delays and the
high price tag of fast food restaurants will
munch on their own snack creations while
cruising down the interstate. In fact, according
to a recent survey, three out of four Americans
bring snacks with them on road trips.
This summer. keep in mind the golden rule of
car travel: Preparation is priceless. You
wouldn't embark on any trip without gas in the
car, so to avoid frequent pit stops, remember
fuel for the family. A quick bite to eat will help
keep the driver alert and young travelers happy.
Getting your kids involved with trip
preparations will ensure that you pack what
they'll enjoy. To add "crunch" to your cruising,
help children pack trail mix. crackers, fresh
fruits or sliced vegetables in conveniently­
sized new Ziploc snack bags. Dividing snacks
into portions helps you control the type and
amount of foods your kids eat.
Try selecting fruits and vegetables with edible
skins like seedless grapes or carrot sticks which
cause the least trouble with leftovers and are
easy for little hands to grasp, To clean sticky
