What Should I Do Over Spring Break?

There is so much to do in our lovely state over Spring Break. In order to help us decide what to do, our class is making Glogs that highlight some of the wonderful places and activities in our area. Below is Mr. Pahl's example. The students will have their Glogs done by Friday.

Please comment! What do you like to do over your spring break? Are there really fun things to do or places to go where you live?
