I am going to mix up the time frames - so last week was 2000 and this week is 1996.
We were living in Bellevue, WA then and as soon as school was out I tossed the kids in the car and drove for 2 days to get to the sunshine and warmth of California. Most years to Tahoe where my parents had a vacation home or to Walnut Creek where I grew up and my dear sister Nancy lived. In the photo here we were at the Oakland Zoo which has always been a favorite outing with the kids.

I went to the Oakland Zoo as a child and took my kids there too. Any pictures from Children's Fairyland? I loved that place too.
Sounds like a great end-of-school-year tradition.
Having grown up in the Seattle area, I totally understand skipping town and heading for warmer climate as soon as school is out!
