It was finally summertime, Vic’s favorite time of the year. Hiking, camping, and fishing was all he had on his mind. His daughter, Lily, shared that passion for the outdoors. She and Vic spent countless hours in the sticks as she grew up, and this year would be no different. She had turned 18 and finished high school this year, and was headed off to college in the fall. Vic wanted to make the most of this summer before she grew too old to want to spend time with her old dad anymore, so the summer was jam packed with plans.
Vic’s wife, Erica, didn’t share their excitement for roughing it. She generally stayed home while the two of them went off adventuring. She loved the relationship the two shared with each other and was happy to have the house to herself for a few days every time they left.
“All packed Lily?” Vic asked as he closed the trunk of his SUV.
