Spring Break Stories

Did you do anything fun for Spring Break?? Any travels?

Tell us about it in the comment section below!

I spent my time off in the desert-y Southwestern state of New Mexico. The state is known for its green and red chilies, Route 66, and its rich culture.

 I visited the capital city of Santa Fe and the sprawling, urban metropolis of Albuquerque along with the well-traveled through town of Gallup. New Mexico is very different from Wisconsin; the desert-like climate, snow-topped mountains, and countless adobe buildings only start to paint a picture of the contrast between these two regions. The best part of my trip was spending time with my partner who is currently teaching Middle School kids in Gallup. We explored the bigger cities -- shopping, eating, and seeing the sights -- but also spent some time relaxing and even saw the new Hunger Games movie! 

Overall, I'd say it was one of the best Spring Breaks I can remember. Too bad it had to go so fast!




Now I want to hear what you all did!
