Vacation Rules from the 1930s Were Wild

Imagine your family vacation with a 5AM wakeup, starched shirts every day, and ice cream ration cards! In the 1930s, families followed some seriously strict (and hilarious) travel rules: no swimming before lunch, no shorts at dinner, and kids banned from restaurants. Even beach hats had to pass a daily inspection. Makes today’s flip-flop-and-go trips look like pure freedom! Which old-school rule would you totally break? #Travel #VintageTravel #FamilyVacation

when I was a kid you could swim before lunch but you couldn't go in the water and swim until one hour after you ate lunch. we would always ask our parents how much more time until we can go back into the water. that was one long hour.
