What Makes a Summer Vacation a True Summer Vacation? July 1, 2023
The summer season is here, bringing with it a wave of warmth, fun, and relaxation. It’s the perfect time to embrace the summer vibes and make the most of this delightful season. Whether you’re planning exciting adventures, lounging by the pool, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, it’s important to welcome summer with open arms and a positive mindset.
So, what makes a summer vacation a true summer vacation? While it’s sure to be different for everyone, there are also quite a few similarities. Summer is all about sunshine, tan lines, sunglasses, beaches, long nights, tall drinks, relaxation, and quality time with family and friends.
Plus, there’s something about summer that excites everyone from young to old. The term “summer vacation” reminds us firstly (and fondly) of the end of school. There’s a sense of relief and release associated with the term that continues to lend to the nostalgia surrounding the summer vacations we take as adults. We all welcome the summer as a time to engage deeper with our communities, ourselves, and the natural world around us. Instead of having our noses in school books or in our work, we lift our eyes to the warmer weather, the more vibrant world, and all the possibilities that a true break can provide.
And it’s these possibilities that we create when we travel. Summer vacations are filled with possibility — and we’re enticed to explore further, stay longer, dream bigger, and vacation better.
