Spring Break . . .

When I was a kid in school, we did not know what a Spring Break was. Of course that is okay, because we had no money to go do anything anyway. If we had a week out of school, we would have just been underfoot for my mom.
By the time Sandy and I had kids, Spring Break had become a common practice in the school system. We liked it and usually planned a trip with the kids. I suppose our best Spring Break trip was to Rio de Janiero, Brazil, in the mid 1980’s. That was a fun trip, except I got Montezuma’s Revenge on the last day of our trip. A medical doctor on the plane told me that the “chicken salad” we had for lunch was most likely iguana (giant lizard). I am still amazed that Sandy ate hers, what was left of mine, and each of the kid’s, and she didn’t even have an upset stomach.
A few years later Sandy became a public school teacher and we felt Spring Break was our just reward for the long hours she spent at school every week. Accordingly, we always planned some form of escape for that week.
This week is Spring Break week! We will drive to the house in Burnet on Tuesday morning and Ali and Abi will come hang out with us . . . Tuesday through Friday evening. I don’t think there is any better way to spend our vacation than with our little girls.
I am looking forward to some sweet time with them. We haven’t seen them in person since Christmas . . . and that is simply too long for us to go without seeing them!
YEA . . . for Spring Break . . . a great custom!
