It was July 8, 1959 in New York. Elena Gilbert and her family went on a family trip to their lake house. The members of the family are Kevin Gilbert, the dad, Jessica Gilbert, the sister/ daughter, Melissa Gilbert, sister/ daughter, and Jeffrey, brother/ son. Their mother had died from cancer in May of 1959. Elena and her dad were very close unlike the rest of their family. She was an open book she told her dad everything.
