Three ways to make a great road trip better!
Merri Ann likes to wander. I love the mountains. So we wander the back roads of the west.

But you have to eat! A cooler beats a local diner four ways: It's cheaper, quicker, more convenient, and you can eat exactly what you want. Load your cooler with ice packs, put it in the car, and have dinner from the back of your car.

A wrap doesn't get stale or soggy and they can take more tough love. Convert your sandwiches into wraps, roll them plastic, pack them in a container, and stick them in the cooler.
Put the dressing in the bottom, stack the goodies on the top, and invert and shake when you're ready to eat.
Go sweet and savory: Crackers and cheese (I like Gouda) and cookies for dessert.

Take what cookies you need and freeze the rest for the next trip.
