Our school's Spring Break is scheduled for the end of March into beginning of April.
I still don't feel safe taking the kids out to do things in crowded settings (like we would have pre-covid), so I'm planning things to do at home instead.
Anyone thinking ahead to Spring Break yet? What are you doing?

DD #1 is currently working PT at a museum. She is curious to see what the "crowds" look like for spring break. We are in Texas and the museum will continue to require masks of patrons so we'll see if that deters anyone.
DD #2's college canceled their spring break. They are getting one day off in the middle of the week.

My girls have one more week until spring break. It literary feels like they finally just went back after winter break - they went back Jan 9 - how is it already March.
My mom is having surgery over spring break so we’ll be in town. We are also still under a no non essential travel order so no travelling for us, although I do feel people are fatigued and want to travel with their families for a getaway. I imagine whistler (local travel tourism hot spot) will be busy so we will stay away. Maybe we’ll drive for the day or take a ferry to an island for a day on a sunny day.
I don’t know anyone travelling by air anywhere for spring break.

Our spring break is delayed to April this year. We have considered a day trip or 2 to a zoo or other outdoor type thing. Also might do a hotel for one night 2 hours from home and visit SIL and cousins we miss so much. We could play frisbee golf, take a hike, eat outside... but until the adults are all vaccinated indoor stuff seems too risky. Weather nay be a big factor....My BIL may be vaccinated by then but not my DH or his sister. I am vaccinated so it's going to be tempting to start relaxing a bit. I am interested if there is guidance from the cdc on how vaccination changes things.

DS's school isn’t having a spring break. He’s got a Friday off in a couple of weeks and plans to come home for the weekend, but will spend most of it with his GF.

College kid #1 is staying at school and working and college kid #2 is on his golf teams spring break trip. Heading out of town with just DH is kinda a no go/why bother with all the COVID restrictions still in place (which I am totally fine with!).

DH might take the boys fishing if things calm down at work & the weather isn't it's usually spring break cold/cloudy/windy self. I'm working my usual hours, but honestly, the boys are happy to just hang out at home on their devices. Hopefully my youngest isn't busy all week finishing up a book report or catching up on other schoolwork that he has "forgotten" or put off.

We’re just planning day trips at this point, depending on weather. We’ve never been to Anahuac nature preserve, so we’re planning to go there. Maybe down to Brazos Bend. Depending on whether we hear from UNT about younger DD’s admission to the music program, we might do an overnight to Denton and take a little self-guided tour.

DS’s break is the week after next. We rented a house in Bend and we’ll go hiking, biking, etc. Activities depend a bit on the weather. Looking forward to being somewhere, anywhere, else lol

Going to take my senior to see his top two college choices. Hoping it will help him finally make a decision.

Spring break here is always over Easter, but now we don’t have kids in school we try to avoid travelling then. At this stage, we are under a no non-essential travel order, and hotels are closed to tourist traffic. The next meeting of state premiers and the federal government is going to discuss lifting of travel restrictions, but it is on March 22, so not a lot of time to plan for Easter, even if they loosen things up a bit. We are just staying put, maybe do a day trip if cafes and restaurants are open, and planning for a trip later in summer.

I have 2 college kids with breaks in 2 weeks. Right now I am debating between renting a house in Sunriver/Bend or Palm Springs. For that time of year I prefer Palm Springs but inventory is super tight and very expensive. So it will likely be Bend. My kid wants to ski and I want to hike. For all you house lookers - here is a house I’m looking at in Palm Springs but for only 4 nights it works out to $800/night 😭 www.vrbo.com/4144504ha?adultsCount=4&arrival=2021-03-21&departure=2021-03-25

We have had a crapy rain and snow season and the ski conditions aren't great. *headed into drought again* So not the best option for your skiers.

Palm Springs would be about warmer weather, walking around looking at all the cool mid century houses, and hiking Joshua tree. Yes sad that this has been a low rain fall year again.

My DD’s school is not having spring break. They gave “reading” days instead on a Tuesday & Wednesday. She’s a junior in college and probably would have gone with her friends if there was one.

My university is spreading spring break out across the whole term to discourage travel. The students had Tuesday and Wednesday off this week, and there are other days scheduled.

I had been hoping to take the postponed trip from last year to Iceland but I had to postpone it again for next year. Instead, I will be recovering from back surgery.

We are driving to the Tampa area. It’s a full day drive there and back, but ready to see something different. Last summer : fall I travelled for work and feel fine staying in a hotel.

We'll be doing day trips to places people don't normally gather. . DD and I have the same break since she's at my site. My DS MIGHT be back in preschool if they decide to open.

Every year, the public school and university spring breaks are different weeks, so we are hamstrung from doing much :/. We will probably rent a house for a few days on a nearby island.

I just cancelled our Spring Break trip to Cancun. The one I rescheduled from 2020, because I thought that surely this will all be over by 2021? Sigh. Very depressed right now.

No plans at all. DS gets two weeks and hubby is taking the second week off but I just realized I have at least two dr appointments during that time. We wouldn’t have planned to go anywhere anyways but ... hoping to get out at least for lunch and do something fun a day or two but no idea what.

Depending on whether we hear from UNT about younger DD’s admission to the music program, we might do an overnight to Denton and take a little self-guided tour. I haven't been since the beginning of pandemic times, but Denton has a cute little town square with a mini-Austin vibe. There's a crusty old bookstore that feels like a huge fire hazard that we always hit when we're up that way. At least one of my kids toured UNT, but it blends into the other zillion schools we visited. No spring break plans for us. My two that are home aren't in school and are working. The one at school isn't doing a spring break. But DH and I are doing a delayed anniversary trip to a little remote inn in April.

I will be taking my International students to Dallas for an overnight trip. One of them is graduating HS this year and one of the schools she has been accepted to is UT Dallas. She has never been to Dallas...so she wants to see what it is like before she makes a decision to go to school there. Unfortunately the campus is not doing in person tours, but I am going to call and see if they are allowing visitors to do self guided tours of the campus. We also plan to hit the Botanical Gardens while we are there. Then later in the week we will do a day trip to Galveston, take the ferry across to Crystal Beach and hang out there for a bit.

My college kid doesn’t get a spring break this year, which he could really us. It’s his last semester and he’s finishing up his thesis while keeping up with class work from 2 graduate classes and 3 undergrad classes.
My high school kid is on spring break this week. I’m working, so we’ll try to spend time together once I’m off in the evening. He’s a typical 17 yr old, so he sleeps late anyway.

It’s spring break here this week. DD has band competitions both weekends, so we stayed home. However, my FB feed is full of people in the mountains, at the beach, etc. Most people seem to be outside, with the exception of the Disney crowd.
