Ahhh, spring break! The words alone make people happy, and planning a spring break trip is the perfect way to forget you’re in the middle of a dark, cold, depressing winter that seems never-ending.
Young families with little kids are especially in need of a break after being cooped up inside for ages. So where to go? One obvious answer is a beach vacation, and there are plenty of beaches to choose from.

Students and parents alike deserve a reward for putting up with the hassles and disappointments of 2020-21.
More and more families are deciding to make this once-in-a-lifetime event a group celebration, and they’re planning graduation trips with the families of their graduate’s friends. Anyone with a high school senior knows that their kid spends a lot more time with their friends than they do at home, so a graduation trip with friends makes a ton of sense. For many it may be the last time they’ll have a chance to take a family vacation without younger siblings, and having friends along makes the parental “hover factor” a little less annoying!
