what a great day!

Recommended Posts

Since I can't tell you all about yesterday, I'll tell you about today.

Started out with a drive from Jack and Lynn's place in Flagler through Daytona Beach, then out to DeLand. Hit the DZ and looked around, did the waiver thing and got a screaming good deal on a new pair of Tevas (required footwear in Florida from what I can see anyway). Stopped by RWS for a quick tour (Thanks Rosi!); that place is quite impressive. Then we crossed Int'l Speedway Blvd and surprised Sandy at PD. She gave us the grand tour, and we blew Kolla's mind when she came up the stairs and saw me there.

After we were done at PD it was off to Daytona USA. That place really rocks if you're into motorsports at all. Got pics of #3 and #8 especially for my kid. ;)

After that it was time for a quick bite to eat. Hit the Taco Bell across the street... then it was time for the real fun. Behind the TB is a place called Speedzone. Besides the gokart tracks they have "nitro alley" - 350 Chevy powered "rail" dragsters to drive. Oh yeah....

Let's just say I kicked Jack's ass. :ph34r:;) Okay, so I did foul on the first run - hey, I'd never done that before. On the second run he got the hole shot but I got the shift - so like I said, I kicked his ass (by .019 seconds, but still :P).

Sounds like a great day right? Well, the evil plan had only begun to unfold... Off to the New World's oldest continously occupied city, St. Augustine Florida. We were lucky enough to find a parking place just off the Bridge of Lions (way cool bridge btw). The horse drawn carraiges were right there too... Jack and Lynn had ridden them before and said it was a great way to see the city and hear the history.

So we climbed in and off we went. It was starting to sprinkle a bit, but it rains at 4pm in Florida often so we (including the driver) figured no prob, it would stop soon.

It didn't. It got worse. We ended up spending at least 45 minutes sitting under a tree in the middle of the historic district watching the brick street we were on disappear under rapidly rising water. Going along with the pouring rain was lightning and thunder like this California girl has never seen or heard before (Jack was laughing at my flinches when the thunder would crack just as the lightning faded...).

We were thoroughly soaked by the time a car from the tour company came to get us out of the rain and back to our car. It had to be the best time I've ever had sitting and shivering in the rain. B|

Ended the day with dinner at the HighJacker restaurant (formerly Skydive Daytona Beach's DZ building). And now... well, now it's time for bed, cuz we're off to DeLand to jump bright and early Saturday morning.

Who's gonna be there? Look for me! I'll be wearing my dz.com shirt.

Give Jack and Lynn gigantic hugs for me (turn around and do it right now!!!) and have a most wonderful time tomorrow.

What bugs me is you had your head so far up Betsy's ASS while you were here I never really met you! Does she HYPNOTIZE?



Now Chromey just cuz I keep having to tell you to BTFU doesn't mean you should go around insulting people!
The only Louisiana Leg Hound around here has been you and I just keep having them hit you with the 3 inch fire hose. Down Boy down!

Consider yourself put in check by a pissed off pixie.:P;)
