[quote=Anonymous]The people do brag about it.  Op, it can be annoying.  We never even had spring break at our public schools, so I was shocked to see how many families travel for their kid’s break when I moved to DMV.  I just never had heard or seen this behavior before. It was not a way of life in my childhood town.  Not everyone travels, Op.  Look in the spring break SACC.  It’s packed and has a long waitlist every year.  Remind yourself that not everyone is flying off somewhere.  Some of us have to work the week of our kids’ spring break.  Try to do other extra fun activities around these times. No one said that you had to fly hours away to have an incredibly fun time. We go on new hikes and visit different local sites on the weekends or during the weeknights. Go to the movies instead of watching one at home.  Try a new zoo or adventure land. These things are less expensive and don’t require you to board your pet, pack tons of suitcases, stand in baggage, rent a car, check in to hotels, etc. And, at the end of the break, there’s no big laundry requirement, no one’s sick or tired, and nothing needs unpacking and sorting out.  Traveling is exhausting, too. [/quote]
