We ended up being out for most of the morning. Not planned, but things took longer than I had thought they would and before I knew it, our tummies were telling us it was lunch time. We stopped at a little soft pretzel place to eat. I got a yummy chicken salad pretzel sandwich and the kids each got a pretzel stick and a slushy. About half way through eating, The Oldest asked if he could order some chips. I gave him a quick no and we finished our meal. As we got in the car, he was complaining about how he should have gotten a pretzel sandwich or at least ordered some chips the first time through the line. I was not really moved, mostly because I was quite satisfied and very full from my own yummy lunch. But as we drove home by the Utz Factory, my heart softened and I suggested we go in for a quick tour. The real reason for my generous suggestion was the fact that after you walk down the one hallway and look through the windows at all the giant potato chip making machines, you get to climb this little set of steps and grab a free bag of chips. It always makes the kids so happy. I could have just bought the very same chips at the pretzel store for less than a dollar, but something about chips straight from the factory seems to make them taste so much better. Guess it could also have something to do with the fact that they are free.
