2009 February School Vacation Week
There are lots of great events happening in the Rhode Island area during School Vacation Week (Feb. 14 - Feb. 22). Parents of young children, who may not be in the school vacation rhythm yet, should be aware that many of their favorite hotspots will be busier than usual because of the special events planned for kids. Plan accordingly.
The events calendar is bursting with lots of fun things for you and your kidos to do this week.

If you are not heading out of town for vacation, you may need a break or some fresh ideas for entertaining your children. Arrange playdate swaps with your friends. Plan a local adventure; Take your kids somehwere they’ve never been before. It can be big or small, far away or around the corner - visit a new library, museum, park or bookstore.

The 200th Birthday Party for Darwin at Hope Artiste Village on Sunday (the 15th) sounds like unique fun-you have to be “invited” and RSVP to go though. (Invite information though charliesplayhouse.com)
I’d love an A-list for the February Vacation Week-it’s really hard to choose.
You can be “invited” by just calling to get details.
My A-List recommendation: Plan to visit at least one new venue (library, museum, nature center, etc.) over vacation break. It can be a daytrip or mini morning excursion — either way it will feel like an adventure for your kids. Even if you spend the rest of the vacation doing your usual routine.
I agree lots to choose from - if you are super organized make each day a theme, nature, music, theater, sports, etc. and find activities or places that suit the theme of the day.
And please tell us about the places you visit. Use the new resource directory to share your reviews and rate the venues!

We love the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Don’t forget your AAA discount. Cupcakes at Sweet on Mass. Ave after and call it a great day. I have 3-5-7 year olds who all loved it.
Spoon feed me more plans like that, Nancy! We will for sure use this Harvard Cupcake idea. Thanks! Have any more gems?
