Read Dreaming of Mermaids :: Episode 2

“We have a surprise for you!” My mom said. Dad announced that we would be going to the beach. “Really?” I couldn’t contain my excitement. “Yes. It’ll be so much fun, won’t it?” “Yeah!” I jumped as high as I could. I was just so full of joy. We made our way home. My dad set the towel on the seat and I got in. In a week I will be going to the beach. I couldn’t help but start to pick out what I wanted to wear. One thing I wouldn’t forget is my special book. This way I would know what to do if I met a mermaid.

A week had passed and it was finally time to go. We got in the car and we took a long drive all the way to Florida. I could barely sit still. We finally got there after so many hours. My mom and dad said next time they would fly. I couldn’t agree more. It took about forever to get here. We finally pulled into our resort and checked in. It was beautiful. There was greenery everywhere. It was even hotter here then where we lived. My dad said it was the humidity. Whatever that is. Thankfully as soon as we walked in the hotel the air conditioner was on full blast. Soon after we made our way into our rooms and cooled down some I convinced my parents to take me to the beach. Luckily the hotel wasn’t too far from the beach.
