[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked and had fun with my friends growing up---and we tended to be more UMC.  People took one family vacation in the summer 1-2 weeks max in my HS.

Hard work and fun.  I earned a ton of $ and learned the value of WORK.  I have great memories of those lazy summers at the pool---and sneaking in/hopping the fence at night with friends.  Listening to good music, going to Merrifield and Wolftrap for concerts---being home alone with my older siblings and funny memories of crazy fights over the TV.

I think back on that time a lot and how carefree and fun it was....[/quote]

Yep.  And everyone reached an age where they HATED family vacations.  Most teens wanted to be at home with the friends vs with their parents looking at ruins and museums in Europe or having to be away from their boyfriend/girlfriend and friends in the summer.  [/quote]

Late HS was when most parents in our neighborhood were fed up with mopy teens on vacations and started going alone....HOUSE PARTIES!!!  My Fairfax Co neighborhood used to have epic teen parties just like the ones in Sixteen Candles, pretty in pink and such.  Kids would collect $ for the keg at the door, there were often neighborhood bands performing.  Now that sh*t was fun for a teen!!!!!!![/quote]
