Spring Break: Past and Present

My 40th birthday on April 2 was not only the beginning of the "extended play" period of my life, but also kicked off spring break. I couldn't help but reminisce about spring breaks past and chuckle at the evolution of my behavior, something best explained in song.

But since I can't write music and have a voice that could break glass, I'll instead use photographs to accurately portray how that crazy week off has changed since having kids. If you're single, under 30 and trying to hide evidence of the havoc you wreaked, I don't suggest you look at the second image -- it will scare you to death.

AFTER KIDS...

'Nuff said.
