Packing Up, Heading Out!
So glad it’s Friday. SO glad. This week has been interesting. I should start posting about the weird events in my life, instead of food. Like the random booty call text that I tweeted about. Or the guy I met for coffee that knew me but I didn’t know him. But that’s not what this is about…
Highlight of the Week: Game Night
Don’t be jealous of my sweet scrabble parties. You should have seen me act out “sex” in charades. (Who put that in there?!) Ohhh game night.
So this weekend is the annual…
Maynard Family Reunion
This is notable for a few reasons:
On the last family reunion, I was still in my vegan phase, and the chef at the lodge had just learned how to cook gluten free food. Apparently, he thought these were basically the same thing, because he kept trying to make me try his gluten free concoctions. Nice try, chef.
There is no internet. Enough said. (I actually checked the website to see if they had internet. When I saw them advertise a “video player machine” as an amenity, I gave up.)
I’ll be packing my own food with me, because I am high maintenance. a healthy eater am probably going to eat a bunch of junk food, and I have to balance it out somehow.
What I’m taking:
I’m also packing some soy crisps, hummus, and some baby carrots. I’m hoping the restaurant at the lodge has healthy food, but you can never be too sure…
I’m also packing my running shoes, because there are some great running trails! Maybe I can even convince my dad to give me some tennis lessons 😉
Anyways, that’s where I’ll be this weekend!
Love family vacations! And game nights rock… I don’t have them enough. I bet your sex acting out was hilarious.
If you have read my travel anxieties on my blog, than you know I pack copious amounts of food for trips. I get so nervous stepping away from my safe zone of where I know what I can eat and when… but have to take a chance sometimes!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Have a great trip girly!! Family vacations are such a nice time to spend a bit of quality time together away from the craziness of everyday life 🙂 And you have more of an excuse to spend time with them since you don’t have the internet!
I always always pack snacks with me – such a nice little comfort of homely yumminess!
I’m going to NYC with my family next month YAY!
Aww hope you have a great weekend with your family!!
I love all the snacks your packing, definitely a good idea! 🙂
Have fun on your trip! We don’t do any family vacations anymore mostly because we’re scattered all over and my parents split years ago. If I were you, I’d completely bask in the internet-free weekend! 😀
I love that you have a game night! that’s awesome.
have so much fun on your trip! 🙂 my family vacation is in about a week and I cannot wait. I will be packing some food, though, too…just in case !
That sounds like such a fun trip! Can’t wait to hear a recap 🙂
I’m like you, I’m a food packer, it always helps so much!
I always pack meals, it helps a lot! 🙂 Have fun!!!

Always bring my own stuff to events! never can be too prepared haha 🙂 my fam is all working this summer….BOO! we might go somewhere later in August but probs not.
Aw that’s sad! Now that I don’t live in the same state as most of my parents, I LOVE family reunions even more! 🙂
I can completely relate to bringing your own snacks to events like this. Great survival technique. Have fun!
