One Of The Many Reasons I Love Vacation!

[Saphire]

I just did the food shopping for our vacation at the beach and I felt like a kid in a candy store. I bought things that I seldom buy, like light cream for the coffee, real butter spread for the bagels, assorted deluxe mustards for the sandwiches, really nice cheeses and fancy crackers, my favorite Poland Spring Seltzer that I rarely buy, gourmet coffee, specialty chips, etc., etc. When you don't indulge for most of the year, it is pretty thrilling to splurge in this way. Oh, and I did buy some candy...mini peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's...pinch me!!!

I can totally relate my SIL and I were working on the menu & grocery list for our week at the lake - we buy once a year indulgences. The Trader Joes list is the most fun. The chocolate covered cherries, Tapendade & crackers, asst. cheeses Brie, Havarti etc. An assortment of hummus and dips. "good alcohol" and then the ice cream novelties. Fudge bars, ice cream sandwiches etc.....
Have a nice vacation

Ah, yes, vacation food. Plus, I can wear shorts everywhere and not worry that somebody thinks my legs are fat--I'm never going to see them again, who cares! I don't have to wear makeup. We can stay up as late as we want and get up at 11am if we want. And when we go to the beach I can eat seafood twice a day for a whole WEEK if I want to!

So I am not weird after all, huh?

I remember the first real vacation we took with our children that we went alone and paid for by ourselves. I had so much fun spending money on the food for the condo at the OBX. I also bought things I seldom buy and I had a great time doing it. We even went back to buy more junk food before the week was out.

Vacation food shopping is the greatest! We did it as kids, and now I do it with my own family. We love it! We buy junk we would never buy otherwise.

We were at Sunset Beach last week and on Sat. morning I let the kids have ice cream sundaes for breakfast. I was throwing everything out before we came home. My kids didn't believe me at first! They quickly went into action before I changed my mind.
