Daily Menu for August 10

I finished the 55 minute FIRM DVD "Aerobic Body Shaping" last night. Wow, it was tough, but I feel so good about completing it! Today is a walking day, which is good because I am too sore to FIRM. That means it's working, right?

I didn't end up making pot roast last night; instead, we had whole wheat pasta with zucchini, onions, and tomatoes. Yummy! So the pot roast is going in the crockpot today for dinner tonight and roast beef sandwiches tomorrow.

We're taking a 3 day trip to Napa/Sonoma next week for a mini-vacation before school starts. I'm taking classes full time in the fall, and Mr.M has been working nonstop all summer. We are looking forward to a few days without work, phone calls, or a toddler! If you have any suggestions for what we should check out while in the area, please let me know! Right now, on our itinerary, are Copia, a spa trip in the hot springs, a view of the geyser, dinner at The Girl and The Fig, and a tasting at an olive oil company. What else would you recommend?

I'll be packing lunches for us on the trip to save a little money. Recommendations for tasty lunches that will hold up in a cooler would be welcome as well.
