Some years back, Spring Break meant Hawaiian Tropic, frozen concoctions, and a whole lot of girls squeezed into a hotel some place amazing like Key West or Rocky Point! Well, times have changed and now as moms we have turned into Cruise Directors, running the show for our little munchkins. For most of us East Valley girls with a modified year-round school schedule, that means TWO glorious weeks to plan for. Luckily, the weather is in our favor as this is Arizona’s time to shine!!! We’ve compiled a short list to keep you busy and even included some idea’s just for Mom because those days of lounging on the beach in neon were well…decades ago. More details on a number of these ideas can be found in our very own 2016 Spring Events in the East Valley Guide.
