As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday?

I always looked forward to spend 3 weeks (we only have a total of 6 weeks summer holidays in germany) with my whole family in a foreign country. My parents always took us either to France or Italy or America and it was always a great experience. I learnt a lot about different cultures, the food, the history etc. but also had a lot of time to relax at the beach.

That's great that you went on so many holidays in other countries!! My parents did a lot of traveling before they had me and my brothers, and didn't really want to go anywhere, so I never went anywhere until I was out of college, if you can believe that. Now I made up for lost time, visiting many countries in Europe, the Caribbean, and most recently South America!!

What a beautiful question! I have set a link in my blog to this page!

Every year in the summer holidays I went to my aunt and uncle’s farm. Those were wonderful summer days. There was a river running through the farm, because it used to be a mill, where we were swimming and rowing. There were horses, hay barns and freedom without ending!
My cousin, the other holiday guest and I spent the time mostly in a dream world- it used to be like Astrid Lindgren´s “Bullerbü”. This was the most beautiful time in my childhood and it lasted until I became 15 and started to go other ways in my summer holidays.
