This is the time of year when I wish my sons were still in school, so I could check out for a week during Spring Break. Somehow that concept does not work as well when it would be just my husband and me ducking out. With the boys on vacation from school, it seemed like there was more of a reason to take off as their normal routine was being disrupted. Now I feel like we would just be vacationing during one of the busiest weeks of the year! Also, we love to ski in Colorado, and this was not the winter for that to happen. I am shocked to see how brown the mountains are.
