Far more fun that traipsing off to find a place to eat and then having to traipse back again.
Anyone else find this?
Count me in. I love cooking. Not always one pot wonders - got two rings on the stove, plus a Cobb. I find it relaxing to cook the family a bonaza meal. Specially when armed with a glass of red or a swift bottle of stella or two.
If we are stopping for a week or more, I do like to treat the family to a meal out somewhere nice, maybe on the last night. Use the week to suss out a nice restaurant and book a table for us later in the week. The money saved by cooking your own food for the rest of the holiday helps to pay for the one "big" night out... Granted on a package holiday we eat out everynight... Camping/cooking yourself just the bees knees though imo.
