Our Florida Vacation

We went back East to visit Grandma Gail for 16 days.  Spent a week at Daytona beach in a condo and also visited Universal Studios Island Adventure to experience The Wizardly World of Harry Potter.  The only way you could see the inside of the castle was to wait in line for the simulation ride.  The hour wait was worth every minute!
Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.  This is at the end of Daytona Beach.  It's a museum but still works as a lighthouse too.


A community effort to build this sandcastle.  It was a days work.

The Alantic Ocean was about 73 degrees.  That was nice since the air was 92 degrees plus 95 degree humidity!


At the top of the lighthouse.

Our condo for the week.


The butterbear was great.  You could order it frozen or cold.  We had the frozen version and the froth on top was like buterscotch cream.  It tasted like a frozen carmel slushy.  Seriously sweet!

The 205 steps we climbed to the top of the lighthouse.  Kind of scary but the views were amazing!
Hagrid's Hut.  You walk by it while waiting to ride the Hippogriff rollercoaster.     Aside the 90 degree weather every day, we stayed pretty cool and enjoyed our time with Grandma!
