Melissa and I made a somewhat spontaneous decision to go to Daytona Beach for a couple of nights...we just got back this afternoon. It was pleasant to see the ol' Beach again...nice to be able sit out on our oceanfront room balcony and take in the scenery. Since we're talking Wednesday check-in and Friday check-out, this stood as the last full weekday stretch for a while in which kids weren't going off to school. Hence there were a lot of families with children everywhere...and especially in the hotel's swimming pool. We did avail ourselves of it Thursday...I think our local pool is a lot more convenient, though. I went on a couple of walks along the beach, each in a different direction. The weather was a mix of rainstorms and sun. The tides seemed to come in a bit too strongly, impeding walking paths along the beach...I timed my walks to coincide with receding sea levels. We also ate out at a couple of our favorite area restaurants. The whole experience was fun...except for the sometimes exasperating drives from Gainesville to there, and back. And it's good to be back...
