I can answer this one... It's vacation week for Massachusetts (and
coincidentally many other places). It's vacation week in MA because this

Easter weekend is one of the bounding weekends of spring break. MA also
has a February vacation week (the week that contains President's day
[originally Washington's birthday when I was younger]).
