Spring Break 2008 - Ideas for Families

Spring Break
Many schools have a 10-day "spring break" in March or April; lots of kids get a long weekend for Easter, too. Families can head to the ski slopes for spring skiing, or south to beach resorts... The #1 spot for family spring break, however, wins its spot with entirely man-made attractions. See many ideas for spring break.
It's #1: Orlando Spring Break Vacation
Orlando gets top billing, as the most popular spring break vacation spot for families. Not bad for a place that doesn't have a mountain, or a sea-shore -- except, of course, of the artificial variety.
Caribbean for Spring Break Vacation
Caribbean beach resorts -- especially all-inclusives-- are a popular spring break vacation for families.
Spring Break - at Florida Beaches?
Seems such a great idea: head to Florida to enjoy the beaches during school spring break in March or April. But spring break at Florida beaches is notorious for partying by college spring-breakers. What's a family to do?
Washington DC: Cherry Blossom Festival
Washington DC is another top spot for spring break vacations, especially during the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
March Break
Many schools take their spring break in March: find ideas for family getaways.
Five Spring Break Vacation Ideas
Lovely Sanibel Island in Florida; west-central Florida's Clearwater Beach; a family ranch in New York state that promises "the most fun your family ever had"; California triple-decker (San Diego, San Francisco, and Disneyland's California Adventure); Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Vancouver BC for Family Spring Break
Vancouver has a mild climate with only a few snowfalls in the winter; there is snow, however, on the scenic mountains that give Vancouver it's beautiful setting by the sea. Visitors can hike, bike, golf, sail, down at sea level OR head for the hills and a day of snowsports. Three local ski resorts are a half-hour from downtown; visitors can rent gear, and snow clothes, too.
Kids Fly Free to Disneyland
This great promotion reappears every year, and includes the spring break vacation months.
