Road Trip!!!

It is a common practice among US citizens to eat at fast food restaurants when on a road trip. It's fun, a chance to get out of the car, and pretty cheap (depending on your group size). But for PKU kids it can get pretty tiring to eat at fast food places (even if you don't repeat a single restaurant). Because in Fast Food places our typical choices are salad or fries. It's that way at McDonald's, Wendy's, Arby's, Artic Circle, Burger King, and other places like that. Some restaurants don't even HAVE good salads!!! So it's really refreshing to find something else we can have on the menu. With the Health Movement that's sweeping across the U.S. it's actually getting easier for us in some ways. Fruit is more common on the menu, which is a HUGE plus for me!!!! Usually at home I don't eat salads because I eat them so often on the road.

So fast food... it's fun right? Sure. But you want to know what's better? PICNICS!!!! I have a lot of fun on picnics! Especially when there's a playground nearby! If you want to stretch out your legs from sitting in the car, a nice playground will do the trick. Or a field with a ball if your too grown up for a playground. Exercise after eating is nice. Maybe they really do have a point in Elementary schools by having recess after lunch! Road trips are fun. Picnics are great. Too much fast food= repetition for PKU'ers. Do you get it??? :) I sure hope you do if not try reading it all over again but slower that usually does the trick for me.
