First off, this year we stayed home instead of travelling. In previous years we've gone to places like Florida where it is very warm, but there really wasn't any way we would want to make Mason stay in a hotel or fly on a plane (again!) so soon. Plus, what we wanted most was the opportunity to spend a lot of quality time together as a family and it didn't matter where we were.
The simple joys of relaxing at home and spending time with my family made this Spring Break the best that I could have asked for. Getting to spend the entire day with my young son who I normally only get to see for a couple hours after work before his bedtime was priceless. It was great to get to be there for his entire daily routine for a whole week, it really makes me look forward to the Summer break and getting to be there with him all day for a couple months! As in years past, it was hard when the break ended and it was time to go back to work, but that is life.
Highlites from Spring Break 2013 include the following:
Mason getting his 3rd and 4th teeth and loving to use them on anyone and anything!
Mason learning to go stand by the front door to tell us he wants to go outside (kind of like a dog now that I think about it...)
Getting to get Mason out of bed and feed him breakfast
My mom coming to stay with us for a week and Mason getting reacquainted with his Grammy
Michelle and I puting together a 1,000 piece puzzle of all the monuments and landmarks of Washington, D.C. and gluing it together with Modge Podge
Buying one way tickets to Boise for the Summer
Riding my bike from Alexandria, VA to Harper's Ferry, WV (about 80 miles)
Spending a whole week together as a family
