we take lots of trail mix, dried fruit, nuts, etc. Nonperishable and
can be eaten over the course of the trip if not finished in the car. I
also usually grab granola bars, bake some sturdy cookies, and take some
processed cheese (Babybel mini-wheels). Juice boxes and water bottles.
Maybe some veggies - baby acrrots, peas in the pod, celery sticks, etc.
I like crunchy stuff in small bites to keep me going. Sometimes we pop
popcorn, spray it with PAM, and sprinkle it with parmesan for the road.
