Jacob was hilarious in the car on vacation. On the way from Charlotte to Myrtle Beach - each time we'd pass a fast food restaurant we'd hear a squeal from the backseat. "OH MY GOSH!! MOM, DAD, DID YOU SEE THAT? Guess what it was?" After a few minutes of guessing obviously wrong things... we would come around to what it was we were actually supposed to have been SUPER excited about. Mostly it was McDonald's (with an OUTDOOR playland MOM!!) or Burger King. Once, it was Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel??
It was even funnier because we weren't planning on stopping for any food (particularly fast food) - but we had four hours of fast food spotting.
The last night was even funnier. We were driving to Jacob's other favorite thing - mini-golf. It was late (past bedtime) for the kids and they were excited. All of a sudden we hear "ALERT, ALERT, ALERT!! IT'S A McDONALD'S!! ALERT ALERT!!"
I feel for the kids. They get in Mom and Dad's food catch-22. It goes like this - no fast food unless we're traveling. But then when we're traveling, we take them to places we can't get in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the kids were not wowed by Chick-fil-A - otherwise we would have eaten a lot more fast food. They did great in restaurants, though, all vacation long. They have a new funny habit of sharing / trading between their dishes. Usually it works out OK - half a grilled cheese for two small pieces of pizza - for example. Sometimes, less so - two french fries for your entree.
We did have some awesome, wonderful peaches. Who knew that there are varieties of peaches! We stopped at some place in the middle of South Carolina and bought peaches and peach bread and peach pie. Yummy!!
