We had a hard time deciding where to go for spring break this year.
Go west and visit family? Too much snow--or the possibility of snow--especially this year.
Go east and see national sites (Washington, DC)? Still the same problem. Snow!
So we kept up an 8-year-tradition and visited Catherine & her family.
Although Texas is a long ways away, it is nice to visit a place where spring has already arrived.
The leaves are already coming out on the trees, and the grass is getting green.
However, this playground had artificial turf--Texas doesn't normally have the kind of grass we usually have in our lawns here in the North. We have Kentucky bluegrass. They have Bermuda grass and some other varieties that are much more heat tolerant--but less soft underfoot.
What a relaxing, wonderful week! Playing with the grandkids,
reading, seeing some movies, playing some RockBand, and enjoying our vacation.
And as a former teacher, I loved seeing a grandson so engrossed in a book that
it really didn't matter where he was.
We're grateful Catherine and Aaron were willing to play host!
THANK YOU!
