Spring Break - Woo! A Retrospective

Kevin's on Spring Break! The most exciting thing about Spring Break these days is that Kevin is home to help with James, but we are going to use the opportunity to do some fun things this week. I'm looking forward to it. Here are some fun Spring Breaks from our past!

1998- My freshman year of college- I went to Syracuse and went to my first concert ever, The Rolling Stones in the Bridges to Babylon tour.

1999- My sophomore year of college- Vicky, Yeon, Candice and I went to London, Brighton, and Bath, and Candice and I also took the Chunnel to Paris for a day. This was Kevin's Freshman year at college and he went to Boston to visit his friend Casey. They went to a Celtics game on St. Patrick's Day and crashed a party at Boston University!

2000- My junior Year of college- I went to visit Candice on her study abroad program in Prague. We also went to Berlin and Budapest. So fun! This was Kevin's sophomore year of college and he went camping in the Blue Ridge with Brady, Briggs, Lukas, and Betsy.

2001- My senior year of college, Janice, Soraya, and I went to Miami. It was Kevin's junior year (but he graduated early so it was his last Spring Break) and he went to Daytona Beach with some high school friends.

2002-2004- I foolishly assumed adults did not "do Spring Break."

2005- Allison and I went to Miami. We didn't think of it as "Spring Break" per se, but it was March and we went to Miami so I'm sticking to it.

2006- My 1L year of law school, Katy, Sarah and I went to Katy's beach house in South Carolina, and celebrated my birthday near Charleston.

2007- My 2L year of law school, Brian, Katy, Sarah W, Paul, Mihai, and I went on a cruise to Costa Maya, Cozumel, Guatemala, and Belize. The departure and return port was New Orleans.

2008- My 3L year of law school, Katy, Sarah, Donald, Brian, Julie, Josh, and I went to Katy's beach house in South Carolina, and then to Audra and Rob's wedding in North Carolina with Roger and Kevin. For Kevin's Spring Break we went to Arizona to visit his family with his brother Andrew.

2009- I did a 20-hour roadtrip to Ohio and back, with my parents to try on my wedding dress at the dressmaker's. Again, I didn't think of it as Spring Break at the time-- but a 20-hour roadtrip! Holy cow!

2010- Since Kevin is a professor, he still gets a week off every year during this time, so in 2010 we did a trip to Cartagena, Colombia.

2011- Well, James was born conveniently during Kevin's Spring Break, so Kevin was able to stay with me for the first 5 days before going back to work.

Spring Break - woo!

2012- Kevin, James, and I went to Northern Virginia, DC, and Charlottesville for the first time as a family. Kevin and I also went to Roger and Lina's wedding.

We will be going to NoVa and DC again this year. Looking forward to it!
