A Bittersweet Start to Spring Break 2014

March 28, 2014

All but two years (2004 when we were putting the finishing touches on our new house and the year Adri was born), we have traveled as a family to Florida for Spring Break.  Kristi and I have come down since 1996 and the kids have come from newborns until now.  This has been the Spring Break plan for the past 15 years, but now, Alex is 16 and a member of the high school band.  The band takes a trip every other year with the band students.  This year they were going to New York City.  So, Alex had the opportunity to do some amazing things with his band friends.  But that meant he would not be coming to Florida with the rest of us.

This was a little tough, just because it is the first time we have not come down all together.  But, who could give up the opportunity to see New York City with all of the internationally known sites, such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, September 11 Memorial, Radio City Music Hall.  There was even more to see and do.


So, we dropped off Alex, and the rest of us headed to Florida.
