Whew!! It's been a busy 9 days of vacation. We've climbed a 12 story outdoor tower, spent time at the pool, went to two movies, walked through acres of gorgeous gardens and across a swinging bridge high above the ground, played ping pong, basketball, video games, card games, did lots of window shopping, talked a bunch and eaten out lots.

Then making a grocery list of all the non perishables that you can buy in one shopping trip, and then finally, separate lists, … [Read more...] about Meal Plan for the Week
