The Dream Deceiver

It was summer. I had just graduated high school and my parents offered to take my sister and me on a vacation. My parents had just bought a cabin near Lake Millinocket in Maine, where we would spend two weeks there. My father is a pilot and insisted on flying his new seaplane, which I thought was pretty exciting. We packed what we needed and my uncle took us to Bangor International Airport. My uncle was going to meet us at the cabin with his family within the following days and wished us a safe flight. My dad went and got us clearance so we could enter the flight line. He came back and we packed our luggage on the plane to get ready for take-off. As soon as we took off I fell asleep and woke up from my sister tapping on my shoulder. She pointed at Mount Katahdin and I was in complete awe. I could see the beautiful reflection from the sun on the lake and Mount Katahdin in the distance. We landed at the seaplane base and my parents got a rental car to go to our cabin. Finally, we arrived at our cabin around the evening and got our rooms situated.
