We had a late flight out on Wednesday night and after sitting on the runway for about an hour we finally took off getting into Orlando around 12:30 am. We got up early on Thursday morning and headed to Daytona Beach for our vacation! We stayed at the Ocean Walk Resort right on the ocean and it was amazing! Thursday night we had a nice dinner at the resort and walked around the shops by the resort.
Friday we spent almost all day at Daytona International Speedway. We had a VIP tour where we got to go to Gatorade Victory Lane, Daytona 500 Champions Club, Press Box above the main grandstand and the Fox Sports booth above the main grandstand. Not only did we have a VIP tour, but we participated in the Richard Petty Driving Experience. The four of us rode in a race car for 3 laps at 170 mph! Not gonna lie, I was a little freaked out about riding at 170 mph in a race car, but what a rush! It was an amazing experience and I would do it all over again!
Saurday we spent the day relaixing by the pool and by the ocean. The lazy river was great and it was fun swimming in the ocean! Saturday night we went to dinner at Hooters and walked around the boardwalk when we got back to the hotel. We even went for a ride on the ferris wheel right by our hotel.
Sunday we flew back home so we had a little bit of time to lay by the pool in the morning and then we headed back to Orlando to catch our flight Sunday night.
Our trip was great and we had so much fun! We all got a little bit of a sun tan to start out the summer as well!
Here are a few pictures from our trip --
