Day 2
We woke up and hit the road by 8:15 am... our goal today was Daytona Beach. It was a fun uneventful drive where we went through South Carolina and Georgia. We stopped at a rest stop in Savannah, Georgia where I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Nick ran around with the kids. Then we continued on to Jacksonville, Florida where they had a huge bridge that we drove over with tons of freight ships and docks on the sides. Then we made it into Daytona about 3 pm and headed to the beach. On the way to the beach we drove past the Daytona International Speedway, and it was HUGE!
When we got to the beach, we thought that we would just wade in the water and that we didn't need to change the kids into swim suits (because it was November, but the weather and the water were nice). We were wrong, they got soaked! The beach was beautiful and the kids loved jumping in the waves and playing in the sand.
Ellie thought it was so funny when the waves would wash up over her feet and go back out...she would laugh and laugh and lose her balance and fall down. Then she would hop back up so she could do it again.
Watching for the waves to come in.
Jumping over the waves!
Playing in the sand.
After we got done with the water and the sand we got the kids changed into dry clothes and headed to the pier to walk out on it...only problem is that it closed at 5 pm and we got there at 5:05 so we just took a picture at the beginning of it.
After that we went to Joe's Crab Shack Restaurant that was right on the pier. We were all starving and ready to eat.
After dinner we headed back to the hotel to go to bed. We all had our tye-dyed shirts on so we had to take a picture.
Trevor and Jacob had to share a bed and this is how we found them when we headed to bed! It was hilarious!
