TIPS FOR THE BEST MEAL EVER
- Make a Restaurant Bag: books, coloring/activity books, markers or colored pencils (trust us, melted crayons are no fun), a drawing pad, travel games, playdough, card games, wipes, and a kids' cup or utensils. Keep it in your car!
- Plan (as much as you can with young kids). Check out the menu ahead of time to ensure it has something for everyone.
- If possible, try not to go out when everyone is tired or hangry. Like, we love a mid-day feast on vacation instead of an exhausted and overstimulated dinner.
- When they take your drink order, order the kids' food
- More games and ideas here.
