3100 miles of eating

What a great vacation!!!! I admit it though. Eating was a BIG challenge and I gave up. There was candy and ice cream and pizza and burgers...and a few salads sprinkled in there. Mostly, there was a lot of french toast. What's the price for all of this?? Well, I'm afraid to get on the scale and will not do so until I make it to the gym at least once.
