45 Left or Right Podcast

Summer Summer Summer Time

13 Jun 2024

Description

In Episode 14: "Summer Summer Summer Time" of the "45 Left to Right Podcast," freelance journalist and host Darisse Smith celebrates summer! She tells stories from her own childhood, especially her favorite vacation her family took to North Carolina. They took a spontaneous detour into whitewater rafting, and this became her favorite summer memory. Darisse talks about returning to North Carolina and whitewater rafting with her 12 year old son, and the desire of parents to cram in as many memories as possible into each summer. Did you know that summer vacations are a modern thing, and not out of the need for farm families to tend to crops? In fact, hot cities and mandatory school attendance were mostly responsible for our traditional summer breaks. Now, families spend summers traveling to experience new things, see new places, sometimes to see family, and, in parents' eyes, to create some core memories. The thing is, despite all of our efforts, kids usually remember things like the airplane emergency card, or, like Darisse's son, the rental cars of each trip. This doesn't change our need as adults to create and store our own vacation memories, though--for ourselves. #SummerVacation #SchoolsOutForSummer #FamilyVacations #SummerCoreMemories #VacationPlanning #45LeftOrRightPodcast #HistoryOfSummerBreaks #UrbanHeatIslands #MandatorySchoolAttendance #180DaysOfSchool
