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 coastto coast, this book is sure to get people reminiscing, I remember when . . ."
