I am officially on spring break - and I couldn’t be happier it’s finally effing here!!! Don’t get me wrong - I love what I do and I enjoy the kids I work with, but good god we all needed a break! Spending every day - five long hours in their face can get very wearing on a person. We are all pretty much to a point of, “If I don’t get a break here soon, I am going to hurt someone!” A good long two-week break is just what we need.

Friday was our last day for two weeks, and you could feel the tension - the air was thick and it was hard to breathe. As soon as the bell rang at 2:06 there was a release and adrenaline rushed through the halls and poured out of the doors. I was also on a high, leaving school I had this wide grin of pure joy covering my face - it was an awesome feeling! I called Scott from the car and just let out a loud, “Yeah Baby - Spring Break!”

We have big plans for spring break and Easter. Thursday we are leaving - with a lot of hope - at the butt crack of dawn. Driving over to San Francisco for a few photo opportunities, then down to PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) and over to Monterey - where we’ll head inland a bit to Salinas for the night. Friday morning we head out and take PCH all the way down into the San Fernando Valley where will stay until Monday morning. While in the Valley (where I grew up) we are going to see some old friends and visit the surrounding areas. Then on Monday we head down into Anaheim for the rest of the week - leaving on Sunday. We are going to meet up with Scott’s family (mother, father, brother, brother’s friend and grandmother). His grandmother lives in Anaheim and we normally stay with her when we go down, but it is a small apartment and pretty uncomfortable. This time we are staying in a hotel - yay! We will be going to Disneyland with a two-day park hopper. We will also be going to the beach to play “tag” with the ocean waves - cannot go to Southern California and not visit the beach! On Saturday we have a date to see the Wiggles Live! Then finally Sunday morning we are heading home… It’s going to be an awesome trip.

Spring break is here!
