Spring Break?

Clearly, it's been a long time since I've been in school, so the whole concept of 'spring break' is a little foreign. However, I'm beginning to see the value in it -- even for (or especially for) those of us who haven't been in a classroom for decades.

It's been a bit of a whirlwind since last summer when I sold my place in Boston, moved to Seattle, bought a house, got acclimated to 3-year-old twins (and, more importantly, vice versa), adjusted to working remotely, and a million other things. Factor in the rain we've been having seemingly non-stop for the past month or so, and it comes down to this: I want a spring break.

While we're not planning anything crazy, we do have a few things in the next week or so that I think will serve that purpose. First off, KLC and I will be going this resort/spa type place for one night (without kids) on Sunday. Neither of us has ever been, but it's one of those you-can-be-pampered-as-much-as-you-want places called Suncadia, which is about a hour an half east of Seattle. Can. Not. Wait.

After that, we will be going to the Oregon coast for a long weekend with KLC's mom. For those East Coasters who have never been to Oregon, it is very spectacular and unlike the coastline in New England that I've seen. I've only been once several years ago, but I thought it was great. We got a great off-season/last-minute deal on a house in Lincoln City and you don't need to say the words "firepit" and "beach access" to me more than once. I promise some pics, if I decide to exert enough energy during either of these excursions to press the button my camera.
