It may sound like something a kid would make up... Fall Break... a break from school right after you get back in school, but our new school district actually does have one.
I was a little reluctant to have the kids home for a whole week after just surviving our summer "what are we going to do today" days, but of coarse the kids were thrilled with it. It didn't take long for me to see the beauty of it either. The most beautiful thing about fall break is that no one else seems to get one!
The southern California beaches were all but deserted despite the 80 degree temperatures. Knott's Berry Farm was completely empty, even though it boasts some great coasters that would make any 38-year-old mother nearly throw up and stay in Camp Snoopy the rest of the day. And though DreamWorks studio was bustling with employees during our visit, our fun at Griffith Park afterwards was completely undisturbed.
In fact, I think the most crowded place we went during our entire week had to have been the 1000 foot condo we were staying in! After six days in a space that was the same size as Ryan's and my first home, our condo in Virginia, we discovered that, well...
that 1000 square feet is really SMALL!
Happy Fall Break!
