Spring Break- A time when students K-12 have a week off from school. What do some students do with their break? Go on an exciting trip to Disney World or Mexico? Stay home and play a lot of Final Fantasy?
I spend my spring breaks in Hot Springs with family. I usually stay at my uncle's house, and this uncle of mine is not the every day uncle. He just so happens to live in Hot Springs Village.
Though Hot Springs is generally a place where wealthy retired folks live to show off their million dollar house and exquisite landscaping, my uncle knows how to keep everything fun. Usually, when I stay at his house, I sleep in the basement. The immediate thought of a basement is a cold, murky area that most people keep hidden. This basment contains a TV...hooked up to computer with an abundance of movies that I could watch for days (such as The Matrix, The Godfather, Vertigo, and The Shawshank Redemption).
The basement, of couse would never be the highlight of spring break. The highlight would be the time spent with my mom's super crazy side of the family. They know how to make me laugh and always have some sort of story worth hearing.
I also get to see my best friend (okay, she also plays the part of my cousin), Ashleigh. With an age difference of two years, Ash and I have had a sisterly bond since she was a baby. A dull moment never seems to happen when we are together; we are always stirring up some sort of trouble.
