Well, it looks as if, at long last, our miserable winter is on its way out. Spring Break is here and the kids (and teachers) are out of school and that’s got some of us heading off on a rejuvenating vacation. Even if you’re not headed somewhere warm, some of today’s songs about sun, travel, beaches, and oceans should get you feeling a little warmer and more relaxed.
