maybe bc you don't have a schoolage child? summer starts mid to early june at our house, when they get out of school for summer vaca. your perspective changes when you become ruled by the school calendar. xshub and i, prior to children, would always go to the beach the last week of august first week of Sept, after the families with kids were all in school and the places cleared out. Now we live on the school sched.

I am tempted to yank ours for a week in mid-September since we are too late to find a good vacation spot for the last week of the month.

I don't think it has to do with no school age children - my summer clock has remained the same since I was in school.

I went to school until the last week of June and didn't go back until after Labor day. So to me summer was always 4th of July to Labor Day.

then add 20 years of working with the Legislature that ended on June 30 - my summer clock still tells me summer is from the 4th to Labor day!!!!

Memorial Day just marks for me the beginning of traffic problems.

Trying to get out of Delaware Friday night was absolutely MURDER - the last 15 miles took us nearly an hour.
