We were just listening to the Beatles song "Day Tripper" and wondered where we might go and what we might wear and of course what savory food we might find along the highway.
Spoil your fellow travelers with treats. Fall ideas could include: Baked Apple Dumplings with bourbon caramel sauce, tried the recipe out of the Garden and Gun Magazine Oct 2012. It was wonderful hot or cold. Or Pumpkin Bread Pudding also in that issue. I was traveling and found this at a friends home but I know if you REALLY like the idea you will find these somewhere. A car ride can be delightful....if it rains you will have to be creative.

"In previous articles, I've provided some tips and suggestions for creating an everyday "Road-Trip Go-Kit" and a "Pets Go-Kit." In honor of the al fresco season, here is my "Picnic Go-Kit.""First, purchase a large plastic container with a seal-able lid to hold your picnic equipment and keep it clean. Store it where you can grab it at a moment's notice, or keep it in your car's trunk if you have room. Pack it with the following essentials and you'll be ready to sneak away for an impromptu picnic."
