Don't feel guilty about staying home over Spring Break. When we were growing up, "March Break" as we call it in Nova Scotia, was a time to enjoy a "break" from school. It didn't have to be a vacation. We never went away on March Break. In fact, I don't remember any of my friends going away unless they had a parent or relatives that lived far from them. I notice that a lot of parents will try to register the children for week long "Day Camps" where the kids have a series of planned activities for the week. This is especially helpful for parents who can't take the week off of work. Our local recreation department has wonderful programs as does the local museums. When my son is in school I likely will plan a few day trips over March Break for fun, but not vacations. Maybe a few days at our camp if the weather co-operates. Lately, March has been a cold & nasty month in the Maritimes. I hope you are enjoying your time with the kids!
