Our Thing


Sparky claims that some people do the same thing every year for a vacation, for instance, every year some people go to Yosemite. They make reservations a year in advanced for the same week. It's Their Thing, or so Sparky says. It makes sense, because some of the campers we saw at Yosemite had their camps decorated with lights and signs and knick knacks - and they looked like they had done it before, and that they'll do it again.  The people next to us had a sign that said "Go Ducks" and another about the "Lemon Drop Gang" (whatever that is) and they acted like they owned the place. Yosemite was definitely Their Thing. So far, Sparky, Bee and I don't have a Thing. I'm not sure if I want us to really have one. But we sort of came up with a Thing accidently, and it's not a bad Thing. We had so much fun at Yosemite that we thought it would be really cool to go to other National Parks that we never been to. In fact, we thought it would be a great idea to go to every major National Park in the country. What a great way to show Bee America! Plus I myself haven't been to a lot of them, like Yellowstone, The Everglades, or The Great Smokey Mountains. And I wouldn't mind seeing them.  So road trips and camping in National Parks has officially become our Thing. Now we just need a travel grant from the NEA.
