Sounds like a good plan. I'd make sure to pack a cooler for your food. And how I handle cheap food on the road (ie no restaurants) is to pack a day's worth from home or bought at local grocery store, eat it, then when we get to the destination, go to the grocery store there and stock up another day's worth. Make sense? Your cooler is always full (buy ice at destination) and you can pick cheap but easy stuff for the road. If you don't have a camping stove, you can just get stuff for sandwiches or other easy, no-cook foods - even buying prepared deli salads is cheaper than a meal at a restaurant.

Sounds good, and very cheap, especially piggybacking on the trip you already have to take.
