Okay, consider the post below EXPIRED. I just got a call from Jake saying we gotta pay $35 per head for the camp site. I don’t mind the fee, but Alex doesn’t want to do it anymore, and Jake is in between. I guess I am too, after thinking about all the other expenses we’ll incur for gas and food. Hm, I guess if our plan to camp doesn’t pan out for the weekend, then downtown it is! YAY! But but, I already got sucked in to the whole camp thing. Boo! And for downtown, I realized I don’t really know where to go or what to do there. Stand??? Maybe I should just stay home.

Was talking to Jake last night about 4th of July plans. I wanted to spend it downtown so I can take pictures of fireworks but he invited me to go camping instead. It’s not a bad idea and I don’t mind going, it’s just that I was looking forward to taking shots of a beautiful firework lit up night sky which I can only do twice a year — January 1 and July 4, unless there is some other grand festivity going on. That’s about the only bit that saddens me but the more I think about it, the more I see no reason to be disappointed. Besides, it’s not like it’s going to be my last chance to see and shoot fireworks, and camping is a relatively nice alternative.

I also have one other choice which is to go on the boat with my family. I’ve done it three times in a row, and I feel like I’m growing tired of it so I decided to celebrate 4th differently this year if I could, and I can. Don’t get the wrong idea that I am ditching my family because I love spending time with them. July 4th is just one of the many days of the year where we have parties and such, so it’s not like I’m missing out; not everyone goes anyway.

But about camping, I think it’ll be fun. I doubt the presence of fireworks but there will be smores and bonfire. A star filled night sky. And a nice beach scenery. See, it’s not so bad if I think of all the highlights for that weekend. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a one or two nighter. I remember when I was in 2nd year of highschool, I was in the Girl Scouts club and we had a weekend camp. It was so much fun! Ahaha, more fun because a girlfriend was in the club with me… wheee! =P But seriously, it was fun because of all the activities our camp leaders had in store for us. I’m glad I went that time. It was a good break from burying my head in school work.

But yeah, it is always refreshing when you do things outside of the daily norm. So yeah, I’m a do it.

I’ll go camping with this dude for July 4th weekend and I’ll try to have a good time. We’ll be with Josh and Alex and their friends. It’s gonna be a fun summer getaway, if you can call it that, and I think we’ll be off to Oregon coast to camp.
