So "American"

I went tubing with some friends the other day on the Chattahoochee River. As we were floating along, my friend Amber made the comment "This is so American. Only an American would come up with something like this". And as I thought about it, I realized she's probably right. And I think that's one of the things I love about summer. I'm adventurous and love to travel. I love all things international. But at the end of the day, I'm an all-American girl. And summer brings out the American in me. I love camping and roasting hot dogs and making s'mores. I love the ocean but I'll take the lake any day too. I think everyone needs a little culture in their life and I'm definitely all for seeing the world. But as I stood on my back porch last night spitting watermelon seeds into the grass, I once again thought how American I truly am. :)
