Jeff,

In a similar boat... I'm assuming that being in a Cincy Catholic school, the spring break is the week after Easter which is a terrible time for crowds. I've heard that the first week in June is actually supposed to be pretty good for crowds... So you might want to try that last week in August like you were thinking.

Like your wife, my wife and I won't take our kids out of school. We've thought about doing 'mini-vacations' when the kids get a couple of days off and packaging with a weekend, but it sounds too hectic for my tastes.
