If you wrote this, you'd capitalize the A:
We went to visit my Aunt Bev in California.
Now ... what do you think?
On the way to visit my Aunt in California, we crossed the Golden Gste Bridge.
Would you the a in Aunt be capitalized?
Why or why not?

I think your sentence is correct... maybe?
yes, Writeacher's sentence is correct.
Yours, however, is not.
You only capitalize it if it's a name, not just the kind of relation it is. Wold you write this?
On the way to visit my Sister in California, we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.

No, but why would you capital Mom and Dad? Are these the only exceptions?
