Chronicles of Daytona!

Phil and I just got home from our first get-away since Clare was born. My parents stayed at our house with Clare, and we had a TERRIFIC time! We drove over to the other coast to spend a few days in Daytona.

This is a quick picture (taken from the car) of the raceway where the Daytona 500 is held.

Phil was trying to soup up his car for a big race.
Our first meal was at The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

We played lots of games:

12 rounds of Yahtzee

5 rounds of Racko

3 rounds of the 3-Letter Game This was the view from our room at

The Inn On The Beach.

I enjoyed reading on our "private" beach.

I earned this mini-vacation from Discovery Toys,

so we didn't have to pay for our hotel.

Phil enjoyed swimming and catching the waves.

We went to the MOAS (Museum of Arts and Science)

We walked through the nature trail, and that was right up Phil's alley.

We visited the "tallest lighthouse in Florida." We enjoyed dinner, with live music and a view of the inlet,

at a restaurant called Down The Hatch.

I spent most of the meal watching a family

with a little girl about Clare's age.

We missed our little girl, but we had a TERRIFIC trip.
