Spring Break Bust
Spring break is coming up and we are going .... nowhere.
The no-cation is partially because Matt will be in Alabama on the 4th of April. It is quite difficult trying to find something to do for spring break somewhere near Nowhereville, Alabama. We tried. Trust me, we tried very hard to find something exciting to do within a 4 hour drive of the mothership. But aside from the beach, which is nice but not really worth the $2000 it would take to fly us out there, there is nothing to do in Alabama.
We extended our travel distance to Florida and looked into cruises but the dates didn't line up with being back in Alabama on a Thursday! The only other thing in Florida worth the trip would be Disneyworld but our discount tickets are not valid during spring break (go figure) so we nixed that destination.
In the absence of something really awesome to spend our time doing in the great state of Alabama or nearby, we decided to send Matt to the heart of dixie alone and the boys and I would find something to do closer to home.
I'm cranky because our family spring break is usually awesome! Last year was Dublin, prior to that was Madrid, before that was Amsterdam & Interlaken, and when we lived in the US we went to Boston, and the very first time we had spring break (Eli was in Kindergarten) we went to Seville and Rota, Spain and Gibraltar.
I've decided I need to suck it up and make the best of it. Enter: Spring Break Camp. I shall begin planning.
