Breakfast this morning was some pineapple, and cantaloupe, and a glass of orange juice. After breakfast, we went for a walk on the beach &mdash; I would guess four miles total.

Breakfast was a cake doughnut. We finished Gretchen&rsquo;s picnic food on the second day of our road trip, today. We arrived at my parents and had beans and sausages, and cucumbers and sour cream &mdash; an old family favorite &mdash; and a bottle of <a href="http://www.winespectator.com/Wine/Archives/Show_Article/0,1275,75,00.html" title="Wine Spectator Online | Archives | Consistency Defines The U.S.' Favorite Rioja">Crianza Marqu&eacute;s de C&aacute;ceres Rioja (1999)</a>.

Gretchen and I took a road trip today, going to visit my parents. It was a beautiful day and we made great time. We made it almost to Savana, GA. When we travel, Gretchen makes sandwiches &mdash; these were ham and turkey on croissants. She also brought along dates, dried apricots, raisins, peanuts, and lots of bottled water. It&rsquo;s hard to keep track of how much we ate &mdash; probably too much &mdash; but at least it was mostly healthy. 



We spent the night in a Super-8. Dinner was a crudite (celery and carrot sticks and dip), seafood salad, and a bottle of wine.
