Family Trips

When I was a kid, my family used to go tubing down the Delaware River. For those of you that don't know what tubing is, you basically sit in an inner tube and float down the river. There are different sized tubes for kids and adults. I seem to remember that there were even some double tubes so two people could stay together and not worry about floating apart. The Delaware is a fairly calm river so it's fun for the entire family.

I wonder about white water rafting though. There's a family trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River where you can take a week-long family trip. I'm not a big fan of water so white water rafting most likely isn't something I'd actually do. But it's nice to think about it and pretend I'm brave enough to head down the river.

I wouldn't mind trying the fishing but I've never done fly fishing before. I'm pretty good at regular old fishing. I've never had to do the fly fishing though. I'm not even sure I could learn how to do it without hurting someone. It always seems so dangerous to be throwing a fishing hook around like that.
