Spring Break 2025 is shaping up to be a time for more than just escaping the classroom. It’s an opportunity to prioritize family wellness vacations and create healthy habits that last a lifetime.
The Global Wellness Summit’s 2025 Trends report highlights a growing desire for “softcare” – simpler, low-tech, and affordable wellness experiences that focus on social and emotional well-being. This aligns perfectly with our vision of fun, family-focused getaways that rejuvenate both body and mind. Forget the “hardcare” hype of expensive, high-tech wellness; we’re embracing the joy of simpler pleasures and shared experiences.
Let’s explore how to make this Spring Break a truly revitalizing adventure.
Escape the Ordinary: Fun & Fit Family Getaways for Spring Break
We’re kicking off spring with a fresh take on healthy family vacations, steering away from the usual and diving into destinations that blend wellness with pure fun. Forget the hustle – this year, it’s all about rejuvenation and creating joyful memories together.
While our annual top spring break ideas roundup featured the fabulous Los Angeles, the stunning Carlsbad Flower Fields (just 90 minutes south) are calling with their vibrant blooms – perfect for a picture-perfect, nature-filled escape.
Ready to trade stress for smiles? Read on for our top picks that promise wellness adventures for every family, whether you crave beach bliss, space exploration, or glamorous camping under the stars.

Good morning,
I wanted to give you some feedback…. We went to your site to determine what documentation was needed for my grandson to travel with me to Canada, and printed out two forms. We had one of the forms notarized as suggested, and set out on our trip the next day. When we arrived at the border, I was told we did not have proper identification! The page we had been working from on your site did not say anything about a birth certificate or photo ID, which they said I should have had. PLEASE amend that page to say something like… “In addition to a birth certificate and photo ID, these other documents are recommended…”
Thank you so much for your responsiveness. You may mention this on other pages on your site, but it really should also be on the documentation page.

It all depends in which season you are travelling. November and December is being a very high season for any year to Europe and Asia.and Jan to Mar is where you will get the cheapest airfares of the year. Check out this web site http://www.skyfly-travels.com for cheap airline tickets.
thanks for sharing the such type of information. I really like the such type of information.Keep it up..

Does Australia require a PERMISSION TO TRAVEL letter?
Oahu is famous for its surfing beach at Waikiki, and that’s where many tourists take their first lesson. There’s calmer water as well as huge waves (if you know how to catch them) and there are many, more popular schools right there on the sand.
You don’t have to stay at a fancy hotel ot take lessons even though some schools are affilated with them; any surf guide will take you to other parts of the island and practice safe surfing with you.
My apologies, Michelangelo's David is not in the Uffizi, but in the Gallery of the Accademia. We did not travel to the Uffizi; the Gallery is the museum which houses David, and all of Michelangelo's bound slave statues.
Happy Travels!
Like you’re going to see any tourists riding the Banzai
What about tourist friendly surf spots?
Most of the time I don’t make comments on blogs, but I want to mention that this post really forced me to do so. Really nice post!

Just for clarification, it doesn't matter if a certain casino is the largest/smallest, the thing is that gamblers all over the world could play casino games they've wanted. As long as all types of games such as pokers, slot machines, etc. are available, then it's the type of casino we've always wanted in the first place. Well, we can't deny the fact that there's a lot of larger casinos in Netherlands…. 🙂
Usually it's better to confront your fears. If you choose to do so, as a parent you can start prepping your child with a couple of weeks before the flight. Try taking him to an adventure park where there are similar crafts to airplanes. And step by step you will get him used to flying. Otherwise, if you start drugging him since a child, as you said no good doctor can recommend it. I'm not sure if you would like to take him to rehab because he'll be getting to used to taking too many drugs all the time.
hi all 🙂

Hosting an exchange student is a life changing experience for both students and host families! There is so much we have to learn from each other. Getting to know more about a new culture is exciting at ANY age.
As the Director of International Programs in a private school, I have worked with recruiting & placing foreign exchange students in host families. The bonds between host and student become cemented over time and even after the official host experience ends, families continue to be involved. If you are considering becoming a host, I recommend talking with an experienced host family to get the good, the bad and the ugly. Somehow, the good always dominates the experience.
