taking time off in the middle of the semester is a blessing and a curse. it's a good time to catch up on work and relax, but at the same time it's so hard coming back after a week of vacation (no matter how nice the weather is now).
my spring break this year was a lot different than the ones from years past because my family moved to Stafford, VA (about 30 mins outside DC), so I went "home" to a completely new house. luckily, my parents made sure there was a room for me and took all my stuff from home when they moved, but it was still weird adjusting to an entirely new place. however, despite the initial shock, it was awesome exploring DC and seeing all the awesome museums and sites.
getting to see my "little" brothers was also really awesome - I hadn't seen them in months and it's insane how much they've grown since December! but, when the 3 of us get together, there's no telling what will happen. by the end of the week, I'm sure my parents were relieved to see me go back to iowa after all the shenanigans we pulled.
being back in cedar rapids is pretty cool, especially now that it's FLUNKING SEASON!
