I planned to get up early this morning and get a run in before we set off for our family adventure but instead I woke up and finished making the sandwich spreads I was
too tired to finish last night.
The start of our annual Green Lake long weekend escape is always a production. Over the years we have had convoys with as many as six cars/campers/etc. This year we are just two families making the journey together. The rest of the travelers will trundle in to green lake over the next few
days depending on their work schedules etc.
Since the Summer of 2003 we have
spent the August long weekend at Green Lake. Years ago we added another tradition of stopping in Cache Creek at hungry herbies for burgers and onion rings....that was
one family tradition I wanted to part with. Driving from cache creek to green lake with a belly full of grease does not make for a comfortable ride for anyone!
So this year I took the bull by the horns and said enough is enough, which meant of course that there were sandwiches to be made. So this year we will stop in Cache Creek so the little ladies can burn off some energy but this year we will feast on fresh crab ( thanks Uncle John :) sandwiches, salmon and dill ciabattas and egg salad sandwiches. :))) much better
I say...and the kids...they don't really care what they eat as long as they are together.
The sun is shining! Let the road trip begin!

Bon voyage! Have fun! and while I'm never ambitious enough to pack up a road trip picnic, I agree with you that most of those fast-food pit stops don't make anyone feel better. . .
