Road trip anyone??
well lets just say we didn't end up going camping this long weekend. i'm not going to get into any more detail than that. still we had to go all the way 45 minutes past merrit to get our trailer b/c we're going to manning to camp. so my dad and i went all the way there... spent about 10 minutes enjoying the perfect weather and hooking up the trailer. then we left w/ heavy sighs ecetera. so that 7 or 8 hour day was some good father/daughter bonding time... we talked a lot which we don't always get to do b/c we're always both so tired after a hard day at work. then on sunday my dad and i decided to go on another road trip on the motor bike. we went to Hell's Gate which is about 45 minutes from Spences Bridge if u know where that is or it is 1 and 1/2 hours away from merrit. Hell's Gate was pretty sweet and i took too many pictures b/c i just love my camera soo soo soo much! anywho then we went to Spences Bridge and saw people rafting w/ kumsheen and i so wished i was in one of those rafts w/ them. we waved and they waved back joyfully. then just past spences bridge we stopped for lunch at a little roadside diner (the kind u generally only see in movies) called Rumors. i thought it was a little ironic since i've read a book called rumors but life is generally full of ironies. the only thing about riding on the motorbike is that no matter what i can't hear the music. only when we slow down a bit can i hear and bit of a song and determine which song it is and sing along as i know the words... sometimes i think i got the wrong song but i don't think my dad noticed as when ur going 110 km/hr the wind muffles every bit of noise. we also saw a helicopter w/ a thing of water which we assumed was for a forest fire. we did see smoke but for all we knew it was from somewhere else which we did not know about. when we got home we found out the fire was in Lilloet so that explained it. overall the weekend was good bonding even tho there was not much talking on the bike. i think i can safely say i got a lot of time to think about things even tho there was someone w/ me. i thought about many happy things including my happy dream i had the night b/4. essentially i think we were on the road for another 7 hours. anywho monday was a lazy day... i slept in and we had a bacon, eggs and hashbrown breakfast and it was awesome!! i loved every bit of it. so thats my weekend in a nutshell. today at work was great... time went by quickly and one of my fav people was back so we got to joke around and have dance parties in the kitchen. it was great! thats about it i think and i'm pretty sure this is the longest ramble i have done on my blog ever so this is an important blog. here are some pics!!
