Spring in the act of being sprung.

This is what spring looks like in, I’m guessing, every part of the world but the one I live in (Seattle). Sure, we’ve got beautiful blooming trees, but it’s the backdrop that throws me. What is that? Blue sky?

Who does that?

But I digress, this is a Primavera tree growing nicely in Mexico.

I bet it’s warm there, too.

And that’s what spring is all about, people. It’s not just breaks and MTV on the beach — does MTV still do spring break on the beach?

MTV is still on, right?

Okay, back to me. This is a picture of spring as seen in Mexico and man, it looks nice. If you’re planning a nice spring vacation I highly recommend that you go there. Do not, and I cannot stress this enough, come to Seattle. Give us another month or two.

This photo is a Wordless Wednesday entry that has a bunch of words immediately adjacent to it. Please do not mix the two if you are operating heavy machinery (laptops are okay).

A stream runs through it.

Ah, the water and the sunshine and the barefeet. It’s good stuff.

Finally, winter is going away (kicking and fighting, but still going away) and as such we can once again return to the great outdoors for all of our daytrip needs. Whether you’re a fan of hiking, boating, rafting, biking, or pretty much anything this side of snow activities, it’s a great time to dust off the old waistline and get back in the saddle (or whatever you sit on for your preferred activity).

Don’t forget, as we get closer to summer the State and National Parks (and other assorted campgrounds) will be filling up fast. Many of them take reservations for campsites and RV spaces (and have already started to do so). You may want to start planning your getaways now (or wait and complain about it being full like I usually do).

Goodbye, Winter. Don’t let the door hit you.

These are great seats!

Spring is in the air, and with it the promise of breaks and vacations. Also, the pending closeness of summer, which for everyone shopping in the kid section is synonymous with vacation. Doesn’t seem fair, really.

One of our favorite places to visit with (or without) the family is SeaWorld. And there is nobody bigger at SeaWorld than Shamu (I know, not really a fish). By bigger I mean both size and star power. Shamu is a double threat.

Personally, the Sea World park in San Diego is my favorite, but that doesn’t mean it has to be yours. There are also SeaWorld parks in Orlando and San Antonio, which makes a family trip all the easier.

Which SeaWorld do you go (or want to go) to? What’s your favorite part?

Well, it’s official, spring is here and there’s nothing you can do about it.  Accept it!  That’s what this little guy did among the daffodils at Crealy Adventure Park near Exeter in the UK. Learn from him, go forth and be spring-filled.

Next up, spring break!
