Father's Day River Float

A couple years ago, my husband took me to float a local river.  Why would you go to the river when you could go to the beach, you ask?  I think most people OUTSIDE of California believe that the entire state is covered in beaches and palm trees.  In hopes of NOT coming across arrogant, I am pleased to say that something great about California is that we almost have it all as far as terrain/topography/weather is concerned.  In our particular area, there are no beaches or palm trees.  We live in the mountains and have a number of lakes and rivers in pretty much every direction and quite close to our home.  As often as I refer to myself as a gypsy and that I really don't have any roots, my husband has generously helped me plant new roots with him.  I can confidently say that regardless of my love for other places I have lived, this is most definitely the most beautiful area I have ever lived in.  Because I love the water so much, he often takes me to the rivers and lakes to appease my inner-fish.  Now...back to the river. 

Enjoying the river float as much as I did, I decided that my father would love it just as much as I did.  To the river we went.  Me, my dad and his little dog too.  A couple of years have passed and he's been itching to do it again (see?  I knew he'd love it!), so we planned yet another Father's Day river float with the rest of our family but this time no dogs.
