Trip to Key West

Alex, my mom and I took a trip to Key West to see Nicole (my sister) and Devon. We were staying in Prince Adam’s castle. The room I was in had the stained glass rose on the window, but the window was broken. I walked into a room to ask Nicole about one of her pets (which she doesn’t have in real life), and she said that it had died. Then I asked about her gray cat (which she also doesn’t own in real life), and she told me that it had also died. I started crying. I asked her why she never told me, and she said that she didn’t think it was that serious. Nicole and Devon asked us what time they should wake us up the next day to go to the beach. Alex said she would wake up at 8:30, but I didn’t want to wake up until at least 9:00. Nicole made a sarcastic comment about me being a “tan Floridian,” and I was a little offended because I have actually tanned a considerable amount considering how pale I’ve been for so many years. The next morning, my mom, Alex and I were walking down some sort of beach path. I heard a group of people that we were walking past talking, and an older guy told his daughters “see? They’re pretty young!” I assumed they wanted to hang out with us, so I pretended not to hear his comment so that they didn’t come over and ask us. I began thinking about making plans to meet up with Blane’s friends, Nick and Alex (who I have never met in real life), since they were also staying in Key West. We continued walking over a bridge that was slightly underwater. Tiny crabs were swimming around on the bridge and I thought they were so cute. They started to pinch my mom’s legs and then they started pinching mine. It didn’t really hurt, but it felt really uncomfortable. Soon, both my mom and I were completely covered in them. I fell to the ground trying to get them off of me, and my mom helped me brush them off.
