Houseboating: a Memoir

Last week I got to go to Shuswap lake, a remarkable body of water in the Okanagan area. But I wasn't going there like the typical Thunder//Waterton lake experience; we were going houseboating! So there we were heading off to BC but not before a night's stop at Lake Louise and an enjoyable watch of Criminal Minds. After another scenic drive we arrived at our destination and had some locally made ice cream while we waited to get on board the most memorable boat named ever coined in the nautical world that I've heard so far: No Bullship *giggle*. So that was that and we were off to enjoy the wonders and memories that awaited us. After a good night's rest we awoken to head to the next cove but not before getting supplies from a floating store (DREAM JOB!) When we sailed into the cove we were fascinated at the sight of hundreds of trout just swimming to where we docked, some over a foot long. So that inspired us to go fishing for the next three days with successful results. The days went by being hasted by the activities of sliding, fishing, reading and some nasty Swimmer's Itch. I got to read Ian Fleming's Casino Royale and Live and Let Die, continue my hobby of completing sudoku puzzles watching John Wick (the morality isn't high don't see it,) and discovering my passion for digital solitaire. Unfortunately we had to leave the area and move on though. The next day we had the joy of heading on a hike to see so beautiful falls (not me I was already a victim of heat exhaustion at the time but dad made me go anyway *grunt*.) The hike was decent, the heat; whoever is in charge of the weather there, GET HIM SACKED! So i headed back on my own much to the expense of my family who was concerned about my whereabouts and state of health, but I made it through just fine. A couple days later we headed back home but not before stopping at the spiral tunnels where just to our luck a train trekked through with perfect timing. Hopefully next time my parents won't go there sans enfants/teenagers.
