It was cold but beautiful, so, when we walked on the beach we were covered up. But, it was just nice being outside with the beautiful waves crashing on the sand. Mom had found an intact sand dollar the day before, so, we were hoping to find more. Rod found one full of barnacles--he had never seen one like that before!
That's Annie's condo building in the back. Annie rents her second floor condo out and Mom and Dad have been staying there the last five years or so. It's really nice inside, very homey! The pool is on the west side of the building, so, the residents can enjoy a full day of sun. But, not so much of that going on this year!
Dad, is SO happy it's his birthday, can't you tell? Actually, I think this was his response when I asked him how he was enjoying the walk on the beach! We have been going to Red Lobster for a NICE meal on his birthday since they started coming to Snowbird with us. We were happy to see that there was a Red Lobster up in Daytona Beach Shores. We went by the lighthouse, then drove up to check out the bike week crowds, before hitting the restaurant for dinner. Again this year, we had about $90 worth of giftcards thanks to the My Points BonusMail program. Yea, I love freebies!
For those of you who have never experienced a bike week, this is a car window view of MECCA! LOL This is the intersection of Main Street and A1A the heart of the Daytona activities. My friend Eve and her boyfriend were somewhere in this mess that day...but sans bikes. They decided to drive in since it was cold. I can say that most of the bikers didn't let that hold them back--I am guessing those were the bikers from up North--as the roads were full of bikers. There were a couple groups of them at the condo too!
Rod's favorite activity is taking photos...and with his new lens on the Nikon he was in heaven. I will try to post some of his pics one of these days when he uploads the pics. We really enjoyed both days...it is always nice to be away without the furry kids. But, we did have to make it back to the kennel to pick up Bonnie Dog before they closed on Friday.
Our favorite place in Ponce Inlet--the lighthouse! This little giftshop has the best prices on souveniers! Here's an example--someone is selling those jellyfish in glass globes at craft shows claiming they make them and that they are REAL jellyfish! Now that is funny in and of itself, but, at the craftshow this little guy was selling for $39 but at the Lighthouse Giftshop you can get him for only $19!
