She walks down the path of the Riu Resorts,
After a long flight across the country.
Her favorite people are by her side.
They can see the sparkling blue
Color of the ocean hitting the
Surface with a splash.

They get further down to the
Sand, the warm softness
Between her toes feels like silk.
She glances over at Casey and says, “We finally made it!”
She smiles and the feeling of happiness warms her body.

Sipping on the freshly squeezed lemonade
Tasting so refreshing and sour,
The tears cry down the glass because it’s so hot out.
She steps into the water and closes her eyes.
Taking it all in with a deep breath of how beautiful
This place is, full of different cultures
Sun bathing along the shore line.
The smell of warm coconut suntan lotion fills the air.
Looking at her mom she says, “This is paradise!”
