Summary:
"Using his own history of
family
vacations as a backdrop, Gillespie explores how the meaning and symbolism of the
family
vacation
has shifted throughout the decades. For years, families drove across the country or relaxed at a lakeside cottage.
Now
even the middle-class travel with their nannies or go on a Disney cruise...or take their nannies with them on a Disney cruise. As he sifts through memories and explores
family
vacation
history, Gillespie ultimately discovers that not only is how we choose to
vacation
an expression of who we are as individual families, but that the very nature of the
family
vacation
reflects, and sometimes even predicts, societal change."
