Day 17

Day 17; Miami to Kingsland.

There was no reliable wifi, so the post had to wait a day. That makes this the perfect opportunity to say, day 18 was awesome! Check out the post.

We got up pretty early, so dad could return the rental car (I slept in a bit). We packed everything up and headed out for the day. We rode interstate 95 up the Florida coast so we could go through Daytona Beach. Just so happened that we went right past the Daytona international speedway. That place is enormous! We wanted to go a few rounds on the track...they didn't let us in, so we took a few photos and kept moving.

A little while later, we found a great place on the intercoastal waterway in Daytona Beach for lunch. As we ate, we noticed that the fish love the air (or they wanted to catch bugs). Tons of them were jumping the whole time we were eating, and getting some serious height! Then we stopped at the actual beach to check out the... water, check out the water. It's much warmer than the Pacific ocean.

We hit the road again and didn't stop for anything until we found a gas station with (wouldn't you know it on a hot day) a Dairy Queen! Blizzards are amazing when it's ridiculously hot outside. Cookie dough and butter finger are both highly recommended.

Since we had to go over 400 miles, our next real stop was at our campsite just across the Florida/Georgia boarder on the Georgia side. Dad cooked rice with chicken for dinner, we took showers, and then slept in beautiful weather. It was warm enough to sleep without my sleeping bag, but not so warm that we couldn't sleep.

Much love, LB
