[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ah, yes. Because family,including a newborn, is there it's going to be miserable so give them both kitchens. Weird. [/quote]

Two things:

1) "Festive vacation" food for all snacks/meals for 5+ days? My kids eat healthy food on vacation, with some special treats like ice cream and hot dogs and chips and fruit leather thrown in here and there. Which is exactly what the PP posted in her menu. Do you really go into "full vacation mode" for all meals and snacks with young kids while you are on vacation? How odd. What do they eat, sugary cereal every morning? Burgers and fries and sodas at every dinner? Blech! They must feel awful when they get back home.

2) No, it will not be a "miserable trip" just because family is there. But it's not a wheels-up vacation, if you know what I mean. There are a lot of potentially great things about this trip for OP and her family: time with each other, time with their extended family, lots of opportunity to play outdoors, and yes! Special food like ice cream and Pirate's Booty, which can be enjoyed by ALL the kids. And yes, great dinners could be had by all--if you don't think BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, cucumber salad, fresh tomatoes with salt and basil and a Fudgsicle sounds like a good dinner for all ages, then you are probably overly addicted to processed carbs. OP should enjoy all the great things about this trip, eat some good GF food, and be a wonderful aunt/DIL/SIL by being flexible and putting the family with the newborn and the toddler with a tough food allergy first.[/quote]

I don't know why you would equate "festive" or special food with garbage like fast food and fries. I'm European and never eat any of that junk. The posted menu was like nursing home food.  [/quote]
