Sara: *groans, laying on her bed*
Scooter: What's wrong?
Sara: I'm. Not. Going. To. D.C.
Jim: *perks head up, looking down from the top bunk.* What!? We thought you were going to go see that museum exhibit!
Sara: No....*sits up in the bed, and gently swings her bad knee over the edge of it.* I strained another ligament playing with my friend, and I can't walk for longer then 20 minutes before it starts feeling like someone is shooting flames at it. *looks to the side, frowning. Takes on a snivelly tone to her voice.* Plus the hotels are WAY too expensive in DC.
Scooter: Too expensive? The hotels?
Sara: Yes. Momma wanted to get a hotel for about $60 a night. She basically wanted to do this trip for under $1,000. Which...isn't possible right now. And she also has trouble walking, because she has arthtisc in her knees. Shes...overweight, like I am. >> So, combining not enough money, with bad knees, and a small dog in the mix....equals no trip to DC.
Jerry: That's too bad. Are you still going to go somewhere though?
Sara: Yeah, we're hoping to go to this little hotel down in Daytona, Florida...I think it's called Cabana Motel. It's on the beach, really beautiful sunsets and sunrises. It'll be nice. And I'll only be gone for a week. The second week in July. So it won't be too long!
Frank: Good deal, huh?
Sara: Oh yeah, really good deal. I won't get to see the exhibit....but I'll still have a fun time. Plus swimming in a pool will help my knee some.
Scooter: *hugs gently* It'll be a nice vacation, won't it?
Sara: Definately. It will be pretty sweet. I just wish you guys could come along.
Scooter: I'll go with you!
Sara: Sure! I'll tell Ed, you're coming with me, Scooter. You guys wanna come too? *Looks up at the Trio.*
Jim: Naw, we'll just stay here. Keep the guys company. Plus 4 guests is too much ain't it?
Sara: *dosn't really want to say it, but she nods slowly.* Yeah...it is a little too much.
Scooter: Daytona Beach! Awesome!!
Sara: *Laughs, and is really happy again.*
Scooter: What's in Daytone Beach?
Sara: A lot of stuff, Scooter. You'll love it!
