This is how I feel

So we don’t go to restaurants, kids aren’t signed up for anything, and we are just staying home during spring break? Sounds like my childhood.

I’m always surprised when people travel for spring break

We almost always visited family. We didn't go "fun" places and stay in hotels.

Technically, I guess I did at about 1/3 of what minimum wage was at the time.
