For the better part of twenty years, my immediate family all head down to the family cabin for our annual fishing getaway.
- It is the only time of the year that we are all able to see each other all at the same place due to everyone living in various parts of the country, so it is always highly anticipated by all who are involved.
Most outsiders would tend to think that it is a fishing trip that we spend most of our time outdoors, but that actually isn’t the case. Ninety percent of the time we are all inside enjoying the industrial grade air conditioning unit while drinking some martinis. We all still bring our fishing reels and clothes with us still, just in case we ever actually do decide to do some fishing. As long as the air conditioning stays as fresh and powerful in the cabin however, I don’t think that will be changing very soon. My partner recently came with me this year to the “fishing” getaway. He has always been a very serious hunter and fisherman, and I think it would be a safe bet to say that he was disappointed when he realized that he would be the only one fishing, while the rest of us were inside soaking up the air conditioning! I don’t think he should give up hope just yet however. Who knows, maybe one day the fishing boat will have some air conditioning installed in it, and the possibility for us to actually go fishing on this getaway will increase. Well, at least a little bit.
