The Saturday Evening Post, June 23, 1923
Freedom, fun, and a face full of daydreams—Summer Vacation captures that delicious feeling of having nothing to do and all day to do it. A young boy sprawls on his back, hands behind his head, shoes kicked off, and not a care in the world. It’s the art of doing absolutely nothing—and doing it perfectly. For seniors, this piece is a delightful trip down memory lane. It brings back the golden days of youth—lazy summers, grassy backyards, and that unmatched joy of school being out. It’s a gentle reminder that rest is something to be savored, not rushed.
Hang this Rockwell classic on the wall, and you don’t just decorate a room—you invite in the breeze of summers past, full of sunshine, mischief, and peace.
An ideal gift for anyone who believes the best adventures begin with a good stretch and a deep sigh.
