Developing A Bond

Over spring break this year I had the pleasure of going to Death Valley with my dad for his 50th birthday. Sand dunes, craters, narrow canyons, lakebeds, and tons of other geological wonders entertained us throughout our stay. Everyday I was blown away by how diverse and beautiful this desert is, however, what really made the trip amazing was getting to spend quality time with my father. I now have a deeper understanding of this man, one that I couldn’t have gained any other way. Our conversations around the campfire will forever be ingrained in my memory. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.
