Daytona Beach

Some of you may not know but Gary plans our routes every year and he is a wizard at it.  He researches, plans it and executes it.  I throw in places I for sure want to visit and he just makes it work.  He's just that awesome.  ;) 
Unbeknownst to me until this stop he has been fretting because we are spending so much time in Florida so I could get a lot of "beach days".  He knows I love sand and water and sun so what a great place to get all 3, right?  Well, turns out this year in Florida, the month of May you get more water from the sky than you do from the ocean.  ;)  There is a lot of sand to visit but no sun.  You can try to visit the sand in between the rain storms but you usually end up running for cover either to your car or the nearest awning.  Haha!  What else do you do but roll with it?
Anyway, since we visited Daytona for some beach days but couldn't go to the beach we decided to tour the Daytona 500 Speedway.  We did an "all access" tour of the stadium, the inner circle grounds and the stands.  We got to see the car of this year's winner and we got to take as many pictures as we wanted.  It was a tour well worth the money and I highly recommend it! 
Unfortunately we didn't do anything else.  It took us 2 days to get the tour done since the first day we tried to do it we had to get a rain check due to lightning storms in the area.  It has been raining on us every day since May 12th, it is now May 31st.  Kind of sick of the rain.  Good news is, next week it's supposed to clear up!  Keep you fingers crossed!!  Maybe we'll just turn the rig into an ark and see what happens.  ;)
