Food and Travel

Before you get any ideas, I’m not a gourmand nor do I cook. I just like to eat adventurously, and I have a sweet tooth. Both qualities have served me well in traveling with kids, especially my love for all things chocolaty and sugary. I’m also not above dashing through a drive-thru window, and my choices aren’t always from the healthy fast food menu. More than anything, I like to have fun with my food. Here are a few of my favorite foodie adventures.
