Today the schools in our area let out for a spring break week. The weather turned just in time-back to cold! I will have to see the news tonight, they were predicting we might hit a record low! Hopefully it will warm up soon. I know Galveston especially is looking to spring break to really help jump start the economy of the island.

Down here in the South, spring break is upon us. My kids' friends are here for the weekend, as their spring break from school is next week. Many colleges begin their breaks this week as well. My kids will be on spring break the week after that. There has been lots on the news about stricter drinking laws, lots of folks hoping that business will boom for them, and of course, lots of kids ready for fun! I know that with the beach season upon us, many folks will be looking for the quick fix of weight loss pills. As for me, I'm going to spend my time in Boston bundled up in three layers of clothes, so I'm not too worried about having a beach body for spring break!

At least down in this area. It flew by too fast for us and did not seem like a real break at all. Between preparing all the food for the camp, getting together all the travel supplies we needed, and trying to piece together all the loose ends did not leave much time for Spring Breaking. I am looking forward to some time to regroup from all this!

Did You Know the Best Time to Hit the Beach During Spring Break?

Since my son was out of school for spring break this week, the kids thought it would be fun to head down to the beach one day. I agreed and have tried to get everything done that needed to be done. Today was the day we had planned. My son woke up not feeling well, so we put it off. Then later this afternoon we decided we would try to head out after all. But, I found that I had to get a few more things done before I could leave. We ended up not going out and reaching the beach til 6pm. When we got to the island, we were glad!

The traffic was awful! Parking along the seawall was nearly full! But we found a decent spot, parked and sat on the beach to eat. During this time, most everyone else left! It was so nice to relax and enjoy the beach with just a few folks, and after a while, we were the only ones left! We left the beach at around 8pm as it was getting good and dark. We had a great couple of hours there and I took quite a few pictures to share:

The public school kids here will be on spring break this week. I know they are all looking forward to it, though exams for the high school will be the week they return! I was looking forward to spring break, but I think I will be so busy, I may not have time to do all the things I had planned. Here are a couple of things I'd like to do with my kids during the break:

visit the Titanic exhibit
spend a few hours at the beach
see a movie


So far, that is all we have planned, besides relaxing when we can. My son has track practice everyday and I have some things to do to get ready for camp and some lesson planning to do as well.

What are your plans for spring break?
