Two Weeks of Spring Break

This year, my oldest two kids had TWO weeks off for spring break.  My plan, originally, was to just pack those two weeks with activities, but when my mother-in-law offered to entertain us for a week IN FLORIDA, I had to agree.  So we all headed south after E's 8am soccer game on Saturday.

Heading South!

After a REALLY long 8 hour car ride, that took us closer to 11 hours, we finally arrived in Florida.

After a week in mostly sunny Florida, we left this:

And came home to this:

Dusting of Snow and Freezing Temperatures

The first few days we just tried to adjust to the weather and played inside. We went swimming at the indoor pool at the Y, visited a local toy store (with bunnies),  and went to an indoor play place.  We were only able to enjoy one day of warm sunny weather in Tennessee, but thankfully we had pretty great weather the first week in Florida.

We still have E's soccer game in the morning, an Easter Egg Hunt, and Easter to go, but I'll make a separate post for those.

Happy Spring Break!
