When I was 10/11 we went to Florida to visit family/go to the Disney world or land, water parks, etc.. as Alaskans this was a big hot awesome vacation trip and we flew for a day and a half to get there.

Two cousins were there and they were the same age as my brother, around 13/14. It was swiftly decided that I wasn't allowed to play with them or go anywhere with them. If we went swimming, all 3 would dunk me. One time we went to watch a rocket launch, and they were being so mean to me it made my mom start silently crying.

So, obviously, I went to Disney with everyone and experienced the entire park just me and my grandma, who needed to rest often.

It is worth mentioning that my father had died a year or so earlier.

Yeah, that vacation was really upsetting, I am 37 and still get depressed about it sometimes
