Vacation 4

I missed adding another part about the vacation yesterday I got busy then got side tracked

On Thursday we went to Daytona Beach even though it was a cool (Amy would say it was cold) an some what rainy day it did stay clear enough for us to walk on the beach. Well Amy and I walked I think Brandon spent most of his time running and making noise trying to scare the birds half to death. I really enjoyed this day because I had so much fun watching Brandon run and play on the beach and being so full of energy. I did manage to act like a kid myself a few times and splash Amy, I will admit though the water was way to cold this time of year to try and go for a swim.

I don't have any pictures from this day but not only did we walk on the beach we went out on the pier. We were able to see a sea turtle come up for air, a dolphin was swimming around and a bunch of fish swimming right below the surface. There was also a man fishing off the pier that was nice enough to talk to Brandon and also let him try his hand at fishing off the pier. And don't you know Brandon caught a fish with the first cast. Well ok he hooked a fish that got off the hook before he could get it reeled in. But still I think Brandon had fun giving it a try none the less.

After we walked out on the pier we walked down the beach a little more and went into a place called Johnny Rockets for lunch. This was a place that was set up like a retro style diner of the 60's. And one thing I found very funny was that every 1/2 hour they dim the lights and a disco ball starts spinning around. And all the wait staff start dancing & clapping to music in a line around the counter. This was fun to watch but I don't think it is something I would want to have to do every 1/2 hour during the day if I was trying to work. LOL I did feel left out at one point and had to give our waitress a hard time. She came to the table with our food and made a smiley face out of ketchup on a plate for Brandon. I wanted one too you know being the kid I am at heart. So I asked "Where is my Smiley face?" So she smiled and said I'll make you one... And she sure did so then I was happy and could eat my food like a good little boy should!

All in all what a great day it was I really enjoyed our time in Daytona. Well ok other then AMY getting the car stuck in the sand when we parked on the beach and then again when we left. LOL

Well ok the truth be told I was driving the car both times and got it stuck LOL. There were some very nice people both times on the beach that helped me push while Amy drove to get it unstuck.

Well thats about all I have for today I hope everyone is having a great week I am having an ok one I am missing the friends I spent last week with but all and all things are going well.

Have a great day!
