Here’s what our Hip team shared about their Spring Break Traditions:
“Spring Break trips have always been about making memories for us—choosing experiences over things. We love exploring new places together, and this year was extra special. It was my daughter’s last Spring Break at home, so when we asked where she wanted to go, she said Italy… and we made it happen.
I can’t even put into words how much this trip meant. Watching her take it all in, knowing this season of life is shifting, hit me in ways I didn’t expect. I’m beyond grateful we had this time together, fully present, away from work, away from distractions—just us, soaking it all in.
I shared our Italy adventures on Instagram stories here—it’s a trip I’ll hold close forever. ❤️” – Collin
“Our family typically goes on a big Spring break trip because it usually lands right around our anniversary/birthdays. We plan somewhere new to go every year, but this year we’ve decided to stay home and plan fun and affordable things to do after work! My kiddos are on Spring Break this week and we’ve got plans pretty much every day. We are going hiking/geocaching at a state park, heading to a nearby waterpark, Dave & Buster’s for 50% off games, bike riding, getting pizza and ice cream downtown, and a beach night! 🏖️“ – Liz
“We travel for spring break since it’s usually around our birthdays/anniversaries. We used to go to an Orlando resort every year so I could park myself in their lazy river in a floaty tube and eat fries all day but then everyone else found out about it and it just got way too crowded for us. So we discovered some really nice, yet still affordable villas with private pools in Orlando and it’s the best thing ever. Our villa also had a movie theater, pool table, and game room. Each one has a different theme, so it’s super fun if you’re staying with littles. Orlando is our go-to because there’s just so much to do but we try to plan our vacays before the spring break craziness hits and all the high school and college kiddos hit the beaches/theme parks. This year we had to settle for a staycation since the hubs is healing from an injury but the weather was wonderful and we found plenty to do.” – Cass
“We always go somewhere during my son’s spring break and in years past we have onlinebined our vacation with wherever my husband had to go for travel during that week for work. We went to really exciting places like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and more. Our go-to place is Orlando, as my husband’s aunt lives a half hour away so we can usually stay with her. 🙌🏼 This year we’re going to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure/Volcano Bay and staying on property. Later this summer we will do our yearly trip to Door County, WI – we started that during COVID because it’s like an off-grid adventure and we love it.” – Denise
Some of our Hip sidekicks don’t get a chance to celebrate Spring Break at all.
“We don’t typically do much for spring break. We sometimes would try and find some local things to do here and there, but nothing crazy.” – Melinda
“We don’t do a spring break trip, since my kids only have had a long weekend or two off from school in the spring. It usually lands around my son’s birthday and we find fun things to do in the area or plan a quick day trip to a large mall or fun event. We save our vacation trip planning for the summer. ❤️“ – Amber
“When our kids were younger we did spring break trips, but as older kids have jobs and sports and different schedules spring breaks are harder. Prices get expensive too right now for everything. Plus, in Phoenix, we usually have amazing weather right now so it’s hard to want to go anywhere else. We sometimes do a weekend staycation or at the very least catch a spring training baseball game like we did this weekend, when my oldest was home! We’re excited to plan a Florida Keys family vacation for June though!” – Lina
“Our kiddos here don’t really get a spring break – nothing more than a couple of 4-day weekends throughout March/April but that’s it. With so many family birthdays and sports this time of year, we are too busy to navigate a Spring break trip. Summer starts at the end of May though so we look forward to a summer trip when they’re home.” – Sara
“The school does get a week off in April, but we don’t usually do a Spring Break trip here. if anything, just a quick weekend trip somewhere local-ish for shopping. Otherwise, we mostly use that week for projects around the house/outside.
We get three weeks of vacation in September & October, so we tend to take our “Spring Break” trip then. The weather is better, less people have those weeks off so crowds are less of an issue, and it’s kind of like a last hurrah before the weather gets yucky and we stop traveling as much.” – Liza
Happy Spring from all of us at Hip2Save! 💐 We love and appreciate you all. 💕
