what to pack

[gilbert's]

Can anyone give me some suggestions on what to pack as snacks for the day in the park. Would you pack sandwiches if you have means to keep them cool? Is there benches that you can sit down on to eat snacks and sandwiches?

although we have never packed any sandwiches (because we're not big sandwich snackers) we did see plenty of other people enjoying them while taking a rest break. So, I think that if you want to bring along sandwiches you will not have a problem at all and be in great company.

In the past we have enjoyed packing chips, box juice drinks, granola bars, cookies, crackers, and the 'handi snack' type of things. There are many benches you can sit down at and grab a bite but they can get a little hard to find sometimes especially if you will be there during summer peak season. But, if you just keep strolling along you will eventually spot an empty one. I hope you enjoy!

HI! If you intend for everyone to have their own fanny pack, everyone can have a granola bar in their pack along with some hard candy and gum. These are things we packed in our fanny packs. If you intend on having a small collapsable cooler perhaps some juice and water. Also coffee cakes and pop tarts hold up well.

I think that's what we're going to do too. We're bringing our stoller for our DD. We can fit a collapsable cooler in the basket of the stroller. We will put in sandwiches, juice, poptarts, jerky, water. All sorts of good stuff. We will also have a picnic tablecloth to put on the ground and have a picnic with. Will also work well if the ground is wet for watching the parade and such.

Have a great trip!!!
