This past month we talked a lot about family meals, how your kids eat when they are staying with someone else and how you eat when you are in hotels!  

I was so happy to find this yummy breakfast at my hotel recently

We also talked a bit about making time for exercise while you are on the road.  Do you take the kids to parks in new cities? Would rent bikes, like we did, at Stanley park?
