CHAPTER 1
Two weeks before vacation, Robert decided to take his girls in a trip, so they could be out of normalcy a bit. Besides, Dorothy had passed just a year before and the father thought taking his daughters into a trip, would be a good thing to make them forgetting their rash reality a bit.
This way, at the breakfast that morning, he speared the beans to the girls and after a few discussions, they ended up agreeing to go to the beach, after all, it has been two years since Beezus and Ramona hadn´t go to a beach and it will be the first time Roberta would ever go to a beach.

The travel day arrived quickly to the girls delight. Robert woke up earlier to make them a good breakfast and after cleaning the house and while he prepared Roberta for the travel, the two older sisters, prepared their lunch, like their mother used to prepared, everything was perfect, they even helped Robert loaded the car, however, when they were about to get in the vehicle, they started to fight.
''Daddy, can I go at the front seat?'' 8-year Ramona asked
''you´re still too small to get in the front seat'' Beezus complained
''be quiet Beezus!'' the youngest sister
''Girls!'' Robert raised his voice ''both of you need to go at the back seat, you two needed to help me take care of your sister, so to the back seat you two go. Besides, Beatrice, you´re also too young to go in the front seat'' he said and the two girls obey.

Traveling by car from Portland till Tallahassee want short and they had to stop a few times to lunch, change Roberta´s diapers and to sleep, still, the managed to get along pretty well, playing games, singing and talking to each other. It was fun and Robert was more then proud of his girls.

They arrived at Tallahassee before midday the next day. The start of the week, Robert had rented an Airbnb condominium of modest houses, near the beach, so they could walk to the sea every day if they wanted.
Once approaching, the owner of the house, a beardedirishman named Stanley McArthur came to greet them with a smile.
''goods afternoon Family'' he greeted ''you must be Mr. Quimby, right?''
''call me Robert, we talk over the phone earlier. Nice to meet you Mr. McArthur. And these three girls are my daughters.'' He said, but just Beezus said a polite hi
''hello everyone, well come to Tallahassee. You guys can call me Stan'' Mr. McArthur smiled and showed the house inside for everyone ''I hope you enjoy the stay. And if you need me, I live in that house on the corner with my wife and my son.'' Stan informed
''thank you very much Stan, it was great to make business with you'' Robert said and the other guy left.

Once alone, the girls helped their father with the bags and started to explore the house. It was a quite comfortable house, nice decorate, with a big kitchen and two bedrooms, which annoyed Ramona, who doesn't want to share a room with her sister.
''Ramona, you always shared a room with your sister'' Robert was placing Roberta´s portable crib in his room ''why not now?''
''because… vacation?'' she said and the father couldn´t help but laugh
''come on Pickle, think about all the good stuff we can do tomorrow. I´m sure you will not even going to realize you are sharing a room with Beezus'' he said and Ramona snuggled annoyed
''but Daddy…''
''Ramona could you come here and help me please?'' Beezus yelled from the kitchen and Ramona march her way to there.

Next day by the morning, the whole family woke up earlier to enjoy the day. Indeed Robert was right, Ramona was so tired the other night that she managed to sleep faster than normal and never had time to complain about the sharing room.
After breakfast and cleaning, the Quimbys left to the beach and for a second, Beezus felt herself a bit sad, since the last time she was on a beach, was with her mother; she looked at Ramona, in doubt if she also remembered the last time they had gone to the beach, but she thought the girl was too excited to remember anything.
''here we are girls!'' Robert announced as they set feat on the send. "Lets have fun!" He said and Ramona rushed to play.

They had indeed a great time, Robert took Roberta to play at the ocean and she loved playing in the water and Beezus told her dad she was going to be a nice swimmer someday.
"I also believe it princess" the man smiled as they made their way back to the sand.
Just after lunch, Robert decided to read a bit under the sun tent while Beezus play with Roberta and Ramona was pretending to be an explorer, digging a big hole in the send.
Suddenly, a boy more or less Ramona's age, approach her.
"Hello!" He said
" Hi" said the middle Quimby sister
"hi. My name is Alex, can i play play with you?"
" Sure, i'm pretending to be an explorer, i want to dig the deeper i can, so i will go to see China over here. "
"Yeah, i bet!" Beezus teased her sister and in response, Ramona showed her tong
"Awesome!" Alex exclaim without paying attention at the sisters interaction "can i help you?"
"It will be great, come on, you can use this" the girl said, sending him a beach utensil.

That night, it was Ramona turn to change Roberta's diapers, but this time, she didn't complain, as she was delighted with the thought of having a new friend to play with her in her vacation.
