I am so ready for a vacation. So. Ready. And I'm so ready for Spring. Real Spring with warm temperatures and sunshine. Not this Utah spring where we use our heater in the morning and air conditioning in the afternoon. It's the first official day of spring and we're supposed to get rain and snow - yes, I said SNOW - all week. I'm from Arizona where spring was basically just early summer - hot, hot, and more hot. So I think when the spring months come, it ought to at least be warm enough that I don't have to send my kids to school in winter coats. Who's with me?
Combine Spring and vacation and what do you get? Spring Break! Last year for Spring Break we went to Disneyland - with the rest of the western United States. Seriously, it was probably the busiest I've ever seen the Happiest Place on Earth. We generally try to go during the off season when we can, but we were taking the kids out of a little too much school, so we decided Spring Break was a great choice for our next Disney trip. After all, it couldn't be as bad as that one year we went over 4th of July weekend, right? Wrong! Not only was it Spring Break for Utah, Arizona and probably a few other neighboring states, but Southern CA was also having a 2 for 1 deal with a coupon you could pick up at a local grocery store. We found out about that one from some people who were standing in front of us in line for Pirates of the Carribbean. They were from Tennessee.
This year we're changing gears and visiting Grandma during Spring Break instead. The kids couldn't be more excited. Well, maybe they would be more excited about Disneyland. They don't really remember the crowds, just the fun. Still, they're super excited to go visit their grandma in Texas in a few weeks, and their parents are pretty excited, too.
Do you (or did you) have any fun Spring Break plans? Any road trips? Fancy beach vacations? Or just a week of sitting around in your backyard or chillaxin' at home?
This year I'm going to do all of those things - right from my living room! And one week just isn't enough, so my Spring Break is going to last an entire month! Want to know the best part?
