Unexpectedly Decent Day

Happy Memorial Day to all of you United States-ians! This was the first time in years that my family didn't go to the parade downtown! Instead, we went to Susquehanna River, parts of which are only 20 minutes from my house. But the other people we went with wanted to drive 45 minutes to a different part. Whatever. I was kind of dreading today because I knew that my best friend had to work, so it was me, my parents, my best friend's brother and parents, and another friend of mine from high school who's a year younger, her parents, and her half-brother. I thought it was going to be totally awkward, but it was actually a lot of fun! I've never been on the river with other people in other boats before. Usually, it's just my family and whoever we bring along to go out on our boat. I also unexpectedly got to see two of my friends whom I probably haven't seen for the better part of 6 years. So, while I only got 6 hours of sleep last night, it was a good day.
