Daytona Beach

After we got all set up, we decided to go for a ride….drove to the beach area & boardwalk…

We walked the area and visited a couple of shops….

Joe’s Crab Shack…

The pier…

Back at the Raceway….a lot of socializing going on.

The Roberts on the left and Esparzas on the right…

The Beckhams on the left and the Ellisors on the right…

We are across from each other.

Our backyard…

Before I knew it, Manuel had a Freightliner guy helping him with something at our coach….

This is what we do best…

Oh, this too.  

Drive to Daytona

Happy Halloween Everyone!  Today, we drove to Daytona for early bird arrival at the Good Sam Rally.  We left the park at 5:30 am for our hour drive to the Daytona International Raceway, where the Good Sam Rally will be held. 

There was a bright moon out as we left St. Augustine.

We were the first four coaches to arrive at the West Gate…

We had a 20 minute wait while they opened the gates for us so I took a few pictures…

 

Lynn is out helping with this sign…

Good Sam is there to greet all the Coaches…

In through the tunnel to the RV Park…

We got all set up and now waiting for the trolley to take us to the registration tent.

We are parked in the premier section.  We all have a really good space.

A Witch greets us at the reception center….all workers are dressed in costumes.

They have a vintage section….beautiful old trailers.

This is a 1939 model.

Our ride back on the trolley….

We were supposed to have 30 amps  but when we parked, found that we have 50 amps and also have water.  This is just great.

Back at our coach after some shopping.  Manuel and Janet pose for me.

More to come…Rally begins on Nov. 2.

A Little More of St. Augustine

Today, we met at McDonalds for breakfast and then came back to the coach to rest.  It was a restful day.  We made plans to meet up for dinner at 4:30 pm.

We had dinner at Harry’s and we all enjoyed our meal…it was a good place to eat. This   restaurant was originally a home.  It was built in the 1700s.  It is in the Historic District of St. Augustine.

A look out the window as we went up to the 2nd floor of the restaurant.

This old building is now the Wells Fargo Bank; very nice looking building.

The streets are very narrow as they were back in the 1500s when the town was founded.  Difference is that they are now paved.  I love these old buildings…

A nice park…

When we were here last with the Srutkas, they were building/expanding this bridge. 

The last time we were here, we visited this fort and it is so interesting. We did not go today but The Roberts and Ellisors did go and they enjoyed it.

This Cross is so awesome; it is so tall, you can see it from every part of the city.  We walked up there the last time and visited the church on site.  This is just a picture taken from the car as we drove by.

Tomorrow morning, we will move on to Daytona which is only 50+ miles.

More to come from Daytona.
