    Convenient Keto Snacks on the go:

I have personally packed all of these keto snacks on various road trips. In fact, I regularly keep Quest bars, almonds, Whisps, salame, cheese and beef jerky on hand for hiking snacks.

I had such a good experience with the afternoon tea at the Georgian Hotel in Seattle that I wanted to find a similar venue to enjoy tea in San Francisco. Months before our trip, I stumbled upon the Garden Court at the Palace Hotel. Afternoon tea is served on Saturdays and as luck would have it we were going to be in San Francisco over the weekend. I was beyond excited! Unfortunately, I waited too long to make reservations and the tea seating had been filled. I…
