WhooHOO Spring Break! Now What Do We Do?
Those of us with children in public school start Spring Break on Monday (or as the kids count it, we started Spring Break on Friday the minute school let out.)
It's nice to have a break. FCATs are over. The school year is on a downhill slide. Spring Break offers a perfect time for everyone in the family to take a break and enjoy the weather that people in the rest of the country pay thousands of dollars to visit at this time of year.
Why live in Florida if you can't appreciate days like we've been having lately? There's no shortage of fun to have, so don't fret if the idea of a week at home with the kids makes you panic a little.
If the heat is already starting to get to you, the water parks are open every day this week. To find a water park near you, click here: (Play Wet, South Florida Parenting)
If you're concerned about your budget -- and who isn't? -- there are lots of places to go with kids that won't cost you much. South Florida Parenting has several suggestions.
Enjoy your break!
