"Summer break" as an adult is rarely the same as Summer break as a
kid. At least, it doesn't resemble what I remember Summer being like;
although my memory is almost certainly skewed by images of what Summer
break looks like in the movies and on TV. I was on swim team for as
long as I can remember and played water polo a couple summers in high
school; otherwise, I babysat here and there and read bucket loads of
books. I would spend lots of time at my aunt's pool with my best friend (thank you, Rachel, for helping me remember...) Sometimes there was church camp. Lots of frappes from Juice 'n' Java before Starbucks shut it down. Then lots of frappes from Starbucks. Otherwise, armfulls of free time, I suppose.
