Family Vacation
Description:... Featuring photos and ephemera from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, Rugh takes us through the whole family-vacation process, from planning and packing to selecting the fast-food stops and motels to enjoying the destination. Family Vacation triggers fond memories of fights in the backseat, treasured souvenirs, and all-American tourist spots like Yellowstone, Disneyland, or Washington, D.C. Whether the summer vacation was to Grandma's farm or a tour of the United States coast to coast, this book is sure to get people reminiscing, "I remember when . . ."
Susan Sessions Rugh, PhD, is Associate Professor of History at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. She is an expert in the history of twentieth-century tourism and the author of Are We There Yet? The Golden Age of American Family Vacations.
