Spring break for Houston’s various school districts is right around the corner. Spring break is probably kids favorite time of year, however for the parents it can be a bit stressful. Trying to re-arrange a work schedule, make sure the kid(s) are okay, and keeping them entertained throughout the week long break can be a lot. There are various camps and classes, that kids can attend with the parent having to be in attendance. However, there are so many great places to go in Houston, that both parents and children can enjoy.
Sure, most kids probably are fine with sitting at home in front of the television or playing video games all day long, but it’s probably best for them to get some fresh air and actually take part in activities.
