7 years ago, Cassie McDermott, went on a vacation to San Francisco, CA for her uncle’s wedding. This was the first thing that popped up in Cassie’s mind when asking her about her most memorable vacation.

At the time McDermott was only 12 years old. She got to meet a lot of new people as well as family members she hadn’t seen in a long time. She says “It was fun to be in that environment, because everyone was excited to see each other.”

McDermott stayed at her ‘new’ aunt’s house for the five days they were there. This was also a new way of getting to know the incoming family.

The ceremony took place at a church. Afterwards they had the reception in a huge room at a hotel with beautiful chandeliers, where there was a big dance floor where they got to see the father-daughter dance. McDermott says to this experience. “I’m not that close with that uncle, so it was really awesome see him interact with all of these new people coming in to his life.”

Even though the main event of the vacation was the wedding, McDermott and her family went sightseeing in San Fransisco, which made the vacation even better according to McDermott.
