(2,227 posts)two trips to FL with the university scuba club and one trip to DC, the other year of Spring Break I didn't get a break as I was doing my student teaching. My boys take Spring Break, my eldest, grad student, just stays home to save money, sleep late and eat all our food, plus rehease for his upcoming recital. Other son, college Freshman, spent 2-3 days at Myrtle Beach with a couple of buddies, the rest of his break was at home though we did take one day to go skiing in WV. Our high school freshman daughter started Spring Break/Easter today. SHe and I will probably do a mountain biking camping trip here in NC for a day or two, but nothing big. I don't begrudge people taking Spring Breaks. Most of us can not afford lavish trips abroad, but those who can, enjoy them. Travel is great.
Now in the austere times we are in, seeing the First Family go to the Bahamas doesn't bother me too much. All our Presidents and their families take vacations, more often than most of us, but that is to be expected. Why not vacation here in the states at our great National Parks...Would Mr King be upset if the Obama family took a cruise of the glaciers in Alaska or visited Denali, probably. But it would be spending more money here at home and not look so glamorous floating through the ice flows rather than on a sunny beach somewhere. But the he also gets upset when the Obamas go home to vacation in Hawaii. Can't please everybody. Piss of Mr. King; wonder where he goes on vacation?
