Remember, you may also complete your Slice of Life on Schoology.com. wintertime family time This weekend will mark the ninth annual "boat, sport, and travel" show excuse to see my mom, dad, and brother via a mere one hour car ride instead of packing the car for a week away and a two and a half hour trip up US 31. In recent years, a hotel stay has followed the late dinner and hours of talking and laughing as the last customers at Bennigan's ('03-'10) or Cheeseburger in Paradise ('11). For me, at the "boat, sport, and tackle" show, there are hours to be burned away on walks through shiny boats we'll never own or actually want to own, tours of supremely novel motor homes with pop-out porches and mini-fridge/bathroom/shower combinations, bins of glittered- and non-glittered multi-colored fishing lours, deer heads and deer jerky, and my family - Dad, happily busy talking to folks, being in charge, measuring and taking portraits of "record book" bucks; Mom, helping sell tickets and record books, and offering Tootsie Roll pops to little kids, her bag placed somewhere nearby with her book perched on top, waiting for her kids to arrive; and J, traveling from school to again join in the wandering of the exhibit halls, chat with the people who remember when he "was just a little guy". I've been looking forward to this weekend and time together all week. valentine's week in pictures
