What Have I Been Doing, You Ask?

I know you are all just hanging on the edge of your computer chairs or lapdesks, wanting to know what I have been doing so far while in Daytona. Well, for starters…if you click on the web cam in my previous post you can check in on us and see us lounging under the bright rainbow umbrellas after drilling into the beach with my dad’s hand crank drill (a properly secured umbrella is quite essential to guard against the breeze lifting it high into the air and up the beach – yes, that has happened to us before, and we have it on video to prove it!), or you can catch me riding some narley waves on the Boogie Board with my three sons (I’m the one who has trouble pulling my now forty-one-year-old frame up off the sand after expertly taking the waves all the way into the shore!).

Other than that, I have spent considerable time in the indoor pool right outside our room water wrestling with the boys, sharing some homemade donuts and orange juice for breakfast while catching up on the news on a big screen TV in the South Tower Lounge, and eating some really great seafood at some of the best local hot spots around Daytona while enjoying the company of my family and answering some very inquisitive questions from my youngest son (trust me, some of them are doozies!). FYI, three excellent choices to eat if you ever come down include: Our Deck Down Under, Park’s Seafood Restaurant, and Blackbeard’s Inn.

Wednesday will more than likely include more time under the colorful umbrellas, and a trip with the boys to Daytona Lagoon, the local water park.

Our vacation is already over halfway over, and I know it will be time to leave before we are ready. But, as usual, God is good, all the time. We have had a great trip with my mom and dad, and have spent some great quality time making new memories with the kids, though, if that icecream truck passes by one more time I’m going to have to have a talk with that driver!
