I had a fairly rough time at school, so the holidays were the highlight of my childhood.
We’d go to this holiday village once or twice per year, which had this central building that was themed in a very maximalist way, with lots of little nooks and crannies to discover. It felt like an adventure. I’d laze around in the big swimming pool all day, or pretend like I’m a pirate in this big pirate ship prop they had. It still exists, but I’m a bit afraid that it won’t live up to my childhood memories of it.
During the summer my family and grandparents would go to this kinda run-down recreational domain around a lake. Swim all morning, then eat something in the shoddy cafeteria. They put red cabbage in all their sandwiches for some reason! I’d give a fortune to experience that again, but alas, my grandparents are long gone and the domain’s been turned into an upscale glamping spot (where you can’t even swim).
Of the things I have re-experienced as an adult, building some LEGO sets has been great to do again. And I’m also getting to experience things I wanted to do as a kid but never had the opportunity for.
