Daytona Beach

(You'll have to scroll down to see the other post I just put up.

"Ponce Inlet Lighthouse" was originally started Jan 30,

so it went up further down the page.

BUT it's new with lots of photos)

Right after leaving the lighthouse,

we hit the beach...boat and all!

It was weird driving ON TO THE BEACH to park.
Big flock of birds dancing at the edge of the tide.

My little beach bum.
Sophia loves the sand!
She wanted to build a sandcastle.

SJ on the other hand was content to nap it out.

Walking out the fishing pier/jetty
to see if there was any action.

I love the various colors of blue in the ocean.

Really cool treat was seeing an osprey with its lunch...to go!

I think this looks like it's surfing

the airwaves on the back of the fish!

SJ...didn't see it so much.

He was busy drooling on his daddy.

There were feathered fishermen everywhere!
This one was looking for a handout.

Sophia paused to watch the ocean roll in and crash onto
the rocks. Then, the water would spray up into the air!

Laughing, squealing almost every time.
She would turn around and tell me about it.

AWAKE finally...on the way back to the truck!

The beggar bird finally gets some love.

SJ and I on the walk back to the beach parked rig.

SJ's first trip to the beach!

My babies playing in the sand...
the ski cap was for sun protection BTW.

Here we are in the parking area.
We had a few funny looks thrown our way
for dragging the boat out on the sand.

The bass-freshwater-boat.

Sophia and SJ were TIRED!

falling asleep before we even made it back to the bus.

The next stop was Salt Springs!
