March brings Spring Break, an opportunity for families to spend some extended quality time together before the heat that accompanies summer vacation. Spring Break is ideal for hiking the Big Thicket, biking, learning to paint together, catching up on some doctor/dental visits, and just enjoying each other’s company.

Check out Part 2 of our Spring Break Planner – we’re sure you’ll find a wonderful experience to share with your children.
