Spring Break is coming. With that thought in mind (and rain outside instead of snow) I figured wrongly that today would be appropriate for a knee-length springy skirt. Oops. Still cold. I always forget that spring break in Iowa doesn't feel like spring.
I am starting to feel the doom of real life coming upon me. Not that I am dreading working and making money. The doom is that I can no longer have whole summers off to live in Honduras or travel Asia. This is sad, esp as I am finally going to have more financial room to do such things. Thus, I feel I really need to take advantage of the breaks I have.
I was hoping to do something fun for Spring Break. The problem: boards. This will make any spring break plans a little less than ideal. There are some great cruises right now, some for only $199 for 7 days in the Caribbean. Wow. What could be more perfect--Sailing in the sun, eating great food, relaxing on ship. Unfortunately, again, boards and no opportunity for a long trip.
We decided to visit Abe's sister in DC. We talk about going since I have never been. Finally decided to just go...a day later, flight prices were up again. So bummer.
So, looks like we will be here. Good for board prep I guess if necessary. My sister and her husband may come out. I am excited but feel the pressure. I love Iowa and always encourage people to come visit. However, once here I fail to find nice things to do, at least during the cold and rainy spring break season.
Any ideas?

DC can be cold and nasty too. It is a great city and has a great spirit about it.
It won't be too long when you and Abe will be able travel and get a nice break.
Plan on June for the family dive vacation. ;-)
Gee there is SO much to do in Iowa.. OK, I know that there is.. What about Amana?? I mean that is suppose to be cool.. Hey.. I was from Marshalltown... so excitment was going to DSM or Ames.. What can I tell you???
Do you have to take written boards too at the same time??
And did you get all your patients??
June is just around the corner. Doggie resort, here I come!
Seriously. SO bummer. Not to make you feel worse, but it's been 75 here all weekend! Of course, it could be cold again by the time you guys would've gotten here anyway.
But, I have to say, I'm flattered that a trip to see us was even being considered next to a cruise!
It will be fun to have visitors in Iowa again, though. Maybe an Amish lunch/dinner? Those were really good and something you can't do everywhere. Amana shops are kinda fun too.
I didn't know I was coming to visit!
