From a Child’s Eye

Write about a memorable summer vacation from your childhood.

Childhood trips often leave indelibly vivid memories – the wonder and curiosity, the silliness and joy, the long car rides or wild outdoor escapades. This prompt invites you to revisit the childlike awe and enthusiasm, the dramatic vistas seen from the rear car window, and the unexpected lessons learned. Also, it is an opportunity to recall and understand who we were when younger and how those experiences have shaped our adult selves.
