Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. I plan our menu weeks before we leave, so I'm able to take advantage of store sales and I do much of the food shopping ahead of time. Be sure to discuss each family’s food challenges.
