Spring Break, Midwest Style

When I was growing up, we didn't have a lot of money, so going anywhere for spring break was out of the question. However, Ohio always had a lot to offer--it could easily snow early in the break and be 70 degrees by the end of the week. With the iffy weather, some breaks made us start to crave time structured by school rather than the daytime TV schedule in a remarkably short period of time. Some breaks made us anxious to start summer break immediately.

We have been fortunate enough to have spring breaks with travel for our kids, but this year we are staying home. Sure enough, it is only Tuesday, and we have already had 8 inches of heavy snow, followed by three 50+ degree days. It is the midwest, and it is spring break. We couldn't get more variety if we were driving somewhere...
