Destination: Backyardville

My kids are on vacation for spring break this week.  Because of some poor planning on my part, I got the same time off too, but at the last minute.  Since my son started school, in previous years we only went on short 2 or 3 day vacations.  Had I planned better, we could have gone on a bigger longer vacation.

But since I’m stuck in backyardville, I’m going to do the following exciting action packed activities:

• • Do Income Taxes (yes this is a rare year that I’ve procrastinated).

Personal Finance Ninja is have a free Turbo Tax Deluxe giveway

• Change my car battery (I hate to spend the money!!!)
• Change my car’s squeaky brakes.
• Mow my lawn (Nooooo)
• Spread organic weed and feed  on my lawn (this is the first year I’m trying this).
• Golf, some more (or at least a trip to the driving range) 🙂

If all goes well, next year I think I’ll plan something a little more extravagent!  At least a trip to a major beach, or maybe a 5 day Disney Vacation (but probably not, I’m sure it’s super crowded during spring break).  Most likely it will be a quick trip to the beach!

We’ll make the best of this vacation, but it sure chould have been better!

Reader: What did you do for vacation this spring break?
