I think everyone's about covered it, but like they say, kids are out of school, so it's the only opportunity to vacation til summer. We usually go somewhere for spring break, summer, and fall or winter. Spring is a great time for certain vacations bc the weather is nice.

You haven’t lived until your family vacation has included the Big Kahuna.

We take at least three vacations a year, plus a couple of extended 4 day weekends. Sorry you so po, bo.
We may be poor but putting that vacation money to work for 25 years has paid off! A double wide is twice as nice!

Or somewhere that you have to listen to a timeshare sales pitch before getting your free vacation.

Families taking vacations when kids are out of school and spring is a lot more comfortable to stand in long theme park lines than in June or July.

Quite the contrary. I knew ton of people who always went skiing over spring break and we went to Missouri and Tennessee a few times over spring breaks growing up. I was in middle school at the time.

Since half of the people who filed for bankruptcy seven years ago have gotten “rich” again.

We didn't really start doing actual vacations until later in high school. We lived about 4 hours from my grandparents, so many years when we were younger my mom would pick us up from school on Friday and drive straight there. We'd get there by dinner time. She would go back home after the weekend and we would spend the week with my grandparents. Then my parents bought a condo in Destin so we would hit it up any time we had a long weekend or a week out of school.
Now that my kids are school age, my wife will take them to see her dad and grandparents every year at spring break. They will usually have some cousins there to play with, and take them to the beach for a day. Advantage of them living in south Alabama is they can hit Panama City in 90 minutes and not have to deal with renting a place.

I think we took about 6 vacations my entire childhood ... and three of them were to the beach in Biloxi
We “summered” the same place we “wintered”, “autumned”, and “springed”

If you have kids in elementary school, then you likely have to take time off from work to be home with them. So if you have to take time off, why not go on vacation?
I don't think spring break is anything like summer, but I mean it makes sense to take time off.

Is this a problem for you? Are the parents interfering with your attempts to, uh, "befriend" their children??

When I was growing up we always went to Destin for Easter week. I never even considered it a "real" vacation... It was just what everyone did at Easter. About half my class was in Florida, the other half was in Colorado.
And yes, we went to Ft. Walton or Destin by ourselves every year of high school. We had 20 of us crammed in someone's parents condo and it was awesome. Drunk for 7 days straight 24/7.
Kids these days are soft. It doesn't surprise me they're not allowed on vacations with friends since they're not even allowed to walk around the block by themselves.

Oh we did some stupid shite, no doubt, but at least we were self reliant. Bunch of pussies being raised these days.

We were doing it back in the 90s.
When my parents were growing up though only HS seniors got spring break.
