The perks of spending spring break with the parents

While many people use spring break as a time to get trashed on a beach with friends, I am coming at you live from Paris where I am traveling with my parents and twin sister.

Though traveling with your friends is fun, there is something to be said for taking a trip with your family.

After blowing all my money on a trip to Puerto Rico with my friends over winter break, I have a newfound appreciation for an all-expense paid trip to Europe with my parents.

Perk one: About a week before break began, my father emailed me a complete itinerary for the trip. Every day’s activities were planned out, down to the meals. I only knew this trip was going to be a success when I saw that Day 3 was “Chilling and Shopping.”
