For the past couple of months, I’ve poked around my favorite travel sites trying to decide whether to take the family out of town for spring break, or just stay home and get some projects done. Travel planning these days has gotten more complicated around here. The kids are now all officially teenagers; ages 16, 15, and 13, and their sports and social lives are constantly throwing a monkey wrench into my plans.
Then there are the dogs. I love them, but they are big, young, unruly mutts that no one wants to take care of for an entire week. Hence, we have to find accommodations for them, which usually end up costing more than we spend on a rental for our entire family of five!
I spend all winter cursing Minnesota. The cold. The dark. The snow. Usually I’ve got a spring break trip planned before the first flake of white stuff even falls from the sky, but this year things just didn’t come together. Imagine my surprise when a record breaking heat wave decided to blow into town just in time for spring break!
Eighty degrees in March? Amazing.
My apologies, Minnesota.
