Last year’s spring break was amazing. Full stop. So starting in November of last year, I began brainstorming options for another two week spring break trip to recreate that moment in time. Between November and March, I planned more than a few vacations, each with the same level of care and consideration as those previously planned and taken. But every time I came close to actually booking anything, something stopped me: the weather forecast, driving time, a trip better suited for when the kids are older, a hesitation from deep within.
By the end of March, we still had nothing booked, but thanks to all of my late night research, I have a few amazing vacations pre-planned and ready to go for whenever we are.
- A road trip to see the national parks in the Southwest: flying into Las Vegas, renting a car, driving to the South Rim, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, onto Moab and then flying out of Salt Lake City.
- A trip to San Diego for beaches and swimming: Staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina with their water slides that don’t have a height minimum, renting bikes, playing miniature golf, and checking out the rides on the Boardwalk.
- A local staycation in Calistoga: a few nights at Indian Springs for days lounging by the pool, after dinner swims and relaxing followed by a few nights at Timber Cove, always a family favorite
These really are going to be great trips when the time comes. In the meantime, we (meaning, I) needed sun and warmth and within driving distance of San Francisco and none of the trips I had researched fit the bill. We were going to make a game time decision.
