She was thirteen years old in the summer of 2012 when her family went on their traditional family trip to Daytona Beach. It was traditional in the sense that they went a minimum of four times a year. Any time the entire family had time off to travel, they went to the other coast of Florida for a few days. Unknown to her, it would be the last family trip to Daytona Beach.
Her mom was celebrating the big ‘4-0’ on this trip. She always made all the family plans. It wasn’t something she liked to control; it was more something that brought her excitement than a control factor. Her mom wasn’t raised in a close-knit family herself, so family time and memories was such a joy to her. Daytona Beach was her Mom’s favorite place to bring the family. A few years back, she had found the perfect hotel and it had been the regular place for them ever since. It was a five-star Hilton directly on the beach.
To save money on valet for more fun activities for the trip, Dad would drop them off at the hotel then drive a few blocks away
to overnight parking. She and her older sister would wait in the lobby while her overexcited mom would negotiate the best room with the front desk attendant. It always had to overlook the ocean.
Walking like she was on a mission, Mom came back and said,
“Okay, girls we got it! The best room!” as if she didn’t remember that she said that about the last room they had. The two sisters and Mom grabbed all they had, which consisted of not only luggage, but lawn chairs, inner tubes, and a cooler, and headed for the elevator. Mom would text Dad the room number. She, like her mom, couldn’t wait until everyone had their bathing suits on so they could head to the beach. Her older sister showed no emotion.
