What are your back-to-school traditions?
Two weeks before school starts, we take a mini-vacation. It
could be to Sea World for the day or camping on the weekend. It
finalizes the summer and signals the end of free time during the
day. Once we return, we get back on our schedules of waking up
early for school. The vacation gives the kids something fun to
talk about once they return to school.
