Will you be taking a cooler?
Water, grapes, banana's, apples, cheese, raisins, yogurt (don't forget the
spoons) turkey breast and/or ham slices, PB&J sandwiches. IMO Keeping it
simple is the best way to go.
Some things that I find helpful is to make little packets of each food so
the kids (and adults) can reach into the cooler and take one out at a time.
I use the zip loc snack size bags.
I also don't use ice in my cooler, I freeze bottles of water and put them on
the bottom, it keeps the food nice and cold and as it melts you have water
to drink on the trip.
