I took the day off to spend some time with my dad before he takes off tomorrow afternoon. Having helped him install track lighting and bookshelves last weekend just doesn’t seem to be ideal quality time.

I used our outing to try out the new camera my dad gave me. It’s a big, fancy one that bangs into my chest with every step. I figure it’s a good reminder to take pictures. Here are some of the ones from today’s trek:
