What Are Your Plans For Spring Break?

This week is spring break for public schools in the , a time that families have traditionally used to take a final vacation before summer hits.

Unfortunately though, over the course of the past few years, due to the impact of a downtrodden economy, some parents have been forced to cut back on springing for spending sprees such as escaping to the ski slopes.

But in light of economists forecasting a more optimistic outlook for the future, there is a newfound hope that some may begin to again afford planning family outings.

So we at Patch want to know what may be in store for you and yours over the course of this spring break?

Is it a five day trip to Europe? Or perhaps something a little closer to home, such as spending a weekend in Tahoe trying to catch a little fresh powder snow drift? Or is the choice to stick with the ever popular "stay-cation?" Or maybe you do not have any plans yet, but are open to considering some creative suggestions?
