Oh, Labor Day weekend. You know, it doesn't really seem like a three-day weekend to me. Maybe it's because this summer has been the longest summer I have ever had and everyday is nice and relaxing. This is going to be a whole different kind of relaxation for me. My family has never gone houseboating before. I guess my mother found houseboats and thought it would be fun. We'll be lazy-ing around on a boat. I love being out to sea, but this isn't an ocean. This is Lake Shasta. I'm sure it will be absolutely gorgeous and lovely but there are a few things I am wary about. 1. We're bringing my dog on a 4-hour carride when he gets car sick on a 10-minute trip to the park. 2. Who knows how to maneuver a boat in our family?! 3. While I have googled houseboating and read up on it, I am still a little uncertain about what exactly we are doing.
It'll be an adventure, to say the least. I'll be posting about it when I get back. My co-worker was nice enough to lend me our Nikon D300 for the trip, so expect better quality photos!
In the meantime, I love Sarah-Ji's post here at Shuttersister. It speaks to me on so many levels. I claim titles simply because it is easier to say, "Yes, I am" than to go into a long, mundane argument about why I am not. Why I am not an artist. Why I am not really a photographer although the job title claims so. If a genuine love and passion for the things I do determines how I label myself, then perhaps I really can say, "Yes, I am" without hesitation.
Have a great Labor Day weekend, everyone! I'm sure there will be tons of stories to tell upon return.
