Spring Break week is welcomed in many homes as a nice break from the cold, dreary days of winter. It is an uplifting, reenergizing time often spent outdoors or on vacation.
In South Carolina, Spring Break visitation is often alternated on a yearly basis between the parents. Assuming both parents live nearby, they would alternate spring break week on even and odd years. In situations where one parent lives further away, like out of state, the out-of-state parent often receives Spring Break every year since that parent does not get as much visitation time during the school year due to travel time cutting into the child’s school schedule.
Regardless of your custody visitation schedule, make the most of your Spring Break.
If you have the kids this Spring Break, enjoy the quality time and make new memories. Here are a few suggestions:
The beach is always a good idea. But if you want to avoid crowds, try camping.
Visit a local museum and ice-cream shop.
Spend a day making crafts.
Enjoy a movie night and set up an in-home theatre.
Visit a state park and take a nature walk.
