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?

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!
