We weren’t going to let a little hurricane get in the way of our plans. Of course, we had no choice. We had to bring one child to college, and the other to her junior year internship.
We rented a minivan, packed everything inside, including a bicycle – who wants 85 mile an hour winds ripping a bike off the back of the car.
We wouldn’t have time for any stops along the way - no food or drink, no bathroom emergencies. Yes, we were unstoppable.
But we might get hungry. Our snack choice – whole wheat uncrustables, with peanut butter and honey.
If you think your family is unstoppable, post a picture, with a caption describing why, at www.uncrustables.com. You can win a $10,000 family vacation to Yosemite National Park.
And if you leave a comment below about your unstoppable family, you can also be entered to win an Uncrustables Adventure-Ready Survival Kit:
BUILT lunch bag
5 coupons good for free Uncrustables sandwiches
Sandwich holders
‘Fifty Plates from Fifty States’ car game
Moleskine Journal
2GB memory card
