Leslie was responsible for road snacks. The idea was to satisfy hunger without JUST eating crispy tacos from The Bell. Here is chapter one: homemade chex mix. - IMG_5872.JPG
A giant bag of roasted broccoli replaces chips. - IMG_5873.JPG
A last minute trip to the farmer's market yields peaches, strawberries, melon, apricots, all together in a stupidly good fruit salad. - IMG_5875.JPG

Caprese salad, which it turns out complements curly fries quite well. - IMG_5877.JPG
Rice crispy treats with jam and peanuts. - IMG 2988
It's neat because of the mirror, see? - IMG 2992
We needed to take a picture of this ridge because we hadn't seen anything like it the day before or the day before that. - IMG 3012
