Spring Break is a great time to get out of the house and see things. First of all, since your kids already have the time off school, you can take a family vacation without worrying about your kid getting behind in his classes, or trying to get all the homework he/she will be missing while you are gone. As a school teacher, I know how important this can be.
Another good reason to take a trip during spring break is because it isn't considered peak season for many tourist locations. Since each school district fixes its own calendar, Spring Break can fall anywhere from early March until late April. With only a fraction of the nation on Spring Break on any given week, even popular tourist spots will usually have smaller crowds, less traffic and lower prices.
Also, the weather is usually just about perfect around much of the nation - not too hot, not too cold. This is especially important if you would like to visit hot climates - such as the national parks in Utah, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, Hawaii, etc. Of course, after the long winter, don't forget to wear sunscreen!
Even if you can't afford to take that much time off work, it is a great time to do a couple of day trips locally. Whether we've done big trips (like Florida last year) or smaller day trips (this year), we've always made sure we've done something fun with the kids; because before you know it, they won't be kids anymore. So go out and make some memories!
