Camping with my Dad's Family in Indiana

In the summer of the past 13, my and my father and I went to Versailles, Indiana for a week's adventure so that we can camp with my father and three brothers, cousins ​​and their children went. There are 20 Graves men. In the same camp there is much memory of past events, and soon it will be active. When we camp, we will follow three steps. We eat on an empty stomach, when we are tired we sleep, we must stay in the camping pool at 11 am.

I stayed with my neighbor's family for several days. My father, older brother, and I both started on the same day My father was on a business trip. I returned to California and camped on the Grand Canyon. My mother talked about that day later ... There is a black car in front of the house and I stopped in front of me I did not think about it, but I, you, your I was a little nervous for my brother and you. All my father is outside the town. It does not look like a person sleeping at night, this is a beautiful black car with a man wearing a black suit in the driver 's seat. Please call the neighbors and investigate and see what is wrong. When he knocked at the window, the man lifted his seat and left without saying a word.

So, what does it look like in a week? Since I might not be able to answer this question at home, I used the latest vacation as my time to test it. My family and I are visiting my father's lake which grew up in the Indiana town - where community services are limited and wireless networks already (at least in our house) exist. Of course, I can understand a lot from this experience, but these are the five things I learned. Spoiler alert: I survived. For the first time, I was not keen on checking all notifications for the first time. As far as technology is concerned, it is usually "more" anxious. It's something like Facebook, more e-mail reading etc. I lifted it. Except for the type of ice cream I ordered on that night, I really do not need to worry about it. It is completely refreshing (literally and figuratively). Even if you return to San Francisco, spend the day a week without technology

It is the first time that I met my father for four years today. I live in San Francisco, because my father lives in Indiana, our relationship is mainly digital. Since the first meeting, we have faced dozens of times, but I feel like I always know him. Building and developing our relationship does not happen overnight - hundreds of hours of telephone, e-mail, and text messages in the past have shared our past memories, hope for the future, and everything in between Share. The emptiness I felt like a young girl still exists - my father is my first step, my first home run, my cheering for the people, and my college graduation escape Did. But I am focusing on the future of the new starting point and we realize that we are looking forward to all aspects of our relationship and memories we have not done yet. After all, our story has just begun
