Spring Break

The best part of working in education is the school breaks. I worry that I’m getting too used to having at least a week off for Christmas, and again in the spring; I’ve had this luxury for the last 20 years! Spring break this year was such an amazing change of pace and break in the routine.

I started it off with a trip home to New Jersey to spend time with my parents, brothers, nieces and nephew. I squeezed in time to see friends from NJ and felt like we picked up where we had last left off without skipping a beat. From there, it was back to Baltimore to run some errands, do some spring cleaning and spend time with Scott (and watch Game of Thrones, of course).

From Baltimore, I went to DC to see Scott and go to a National’s game with his parents. We then had dinner at Smoke –n- Barrel, an amazing BBQ place in Adam’s Morgan. They have THE BEST vegan wings I’ve ever tasted (and not to mention a smoked tofu sandwich and vegan spare ribs) so make sure you grab a meal there if you find yourself in DC.

From DC I megabussed my way to Pittsburgh to spend time with Caitlin and Missy who I haven’t seen since right after our graduation last year. This past year has flown by.

Here are a few bits and pieces from my break. Can we please make spring break a mandatory aspect of working life?

Walking around the Inner Harbor. This place is so beautiful in the spring.

 My old home in Pittsburgh! I still miss that tiny beaut with those hardwood floors and SO. much. sunlight.

No trip to Pittsburgh is complete without a stop at Oh Yeah!
