Whatever Floats Your Boat

I am a big fan of boating! I am lucky enough to have an aunt and uncle who own a houseboat that my family and I get invited to once a year. I absolutely love my time at the lake. I look forward to it every year. This year when I went, I thought about the guys that I had brought down with me to the lake in the past resulting in interesting weekends. One guy I brought down the weekend didn't exactly go so well and ended with me throwing a sandwich at him. The other guy I brought with me to the lake the weekend went very well as we made up silly songs. I think we were on our way to just being friends which lead to a fairly fun and uncomplicated weekend on the boat before we officially called it quits sometime later.

So this weekend I went off with my family for a great weekend away from it all. You know you are in the middle of know where when there is no Wal-Mart and you have no cell phone reception. And the thing is, is that every know and then I think you need to get away to a place like this. I had a great time laughing and playing around with my family. We did a ton of tubing, in which we gained several bruises and some great memories. I also got to do my favorite, wakeboarding. Overall a great weekend, with just my family and me, no additional guests necessary for a good time.

Date with Dad

I've been dying to see the new Iron Man 2 movie and my dad suggested we should go see it. It was just me and him going to the movies. It was really nice. I don't usually get to spend that much time one on one with my dad and I definitely enjoyed the time I was able to spend with him on this "date." This "date" went perfectly, we had already agreed on the movie and when it came to snacks my Dad knew exactly what I liked. My dad immediately ordered two diet cokes and popcorn with extra butter. I didn't have to explain that, yes I understand that having buttery popcorn and a diet drink is pointless, I just like the taste, my Dad already knew that and likes the same thing. We got into the movie, thankfully in enough time to get to see the previews, which I love to watch. We whispered during the previews which ones we liked and we would have to go see together, without it being awkward wondering if you will still be together when the movie comes out, because well its my dad, he has to stick around. Lol. On the way home I rambled on about my friends and everything else that was going on in my life, probably boring the poor man to tears but at the same time it was nice to get to share my life with my dad and I know he appreciated that I was sharing.

Overall, one of the best dates I went on, just a simple movie with my dad. Spending time with your family is a great way to make better relationships in your family. I usually spend a lot of time with my mom one on one so I am thinking a date with my little sister is next on my list of things to do.
