Another Spring Break Draws to a Close
I used to think I’d hate having Max off for an entire month in April for Spring Break, but I’ve changed my tune. I love the fact that we don’t have to cram in all sorts of family fun in a single week.
This year, we visited The Discovery Cube in Santa Ana, Legoland (an overnight trip for the two), went camping in town, visited the Safari Animal Park, went to the beach, and lazed around playing video games. Yes, I did get some work done too! We’re going kayaking tomorrow to close out the month.
Doing just a few things a week took the pressure off of me to take off a week straight, and it kept everyone from snapping at one another from family overload.
When we travel, April is a great time, as most kids are in school and theme parks and cities are empty. Prices haven’t yet risen for the summer, but the weather’s still good.
And I like that his summer is just 6 weeks; having 3 months stretch out endlessly just isn’t imaginable anymore! Hooray year ’round!
