Our Travels

We arrived in Port Orange, Florida Thursday February 23rd. I immediately didn’t like the RV park, and I still don’t. It’s old and run down with a train track that runs right behind the park, trains run all hours… they’re insanely loud! On a good note, I found a place to get a massage and decided to try a hymilan salt stone massage. It was wonderful, so relaxing!!! I highly recommend trying one. Once I was finished, Shane and I got lunch from Panera, yum! And then we found a great dog park for the dogs to play-in, and socialize. Afterwards, we decided to explore the beach front areas close to Port Orange, where we’re staying.  We stumbled upon Ponce Inlet while looking for a dog friendly beach.We thought we’d get to drive onto the beach in Daytona. Since we weren’t seeing anything, we headed for a lighthouse that was supposed to be close by. That’s when we discovered a park with a river area for dogs. FYY, There are no beach’s that allow dogs in Daytona. The pet friendly Inlet was reall

We decided to go on a 2 hour Trail Ride! We both hadn’t been on a horse in over 20 years so we decided it’d be a good adventure. The guided trail ride was through a wild life preserve, it was a nice day, not too hot or humid. Once the guide told us there were wild boars in the area, along with alligators and poisonous snakes, I was a bit nervous. We barely saw one alligator, which quickly headed into a pond upon hearing us coming. We saw a lot of damage done from wild boars, and thankfully we saw and No Snakes!  

Shane and I spent a day at SeaWorld with my cousin Barb, who lives in Orlando, Florida. We arrived there at 11am to get started on our adventure. We wanted to see the Orca’s first so we headed in that direction, once seated Barb shared some iPhone camera tips. I was able to start using the new tips when the show started. Always like to learn more about how to take better pictures and Barbs the one to learn from, she’s had a lot of experience and takes classes regularly.  It was a warm day and I hadn’t eaten yet so we decided to have a snack and beverage before continuing our adventure. We then explored the aquarium, which was fabulous and included sharks, stingrays, sea horses and other colorful fish. Afterwards, we found ourselves in the area that had roller coaster rides. Shane went on the roller coaster while Barb and I visited. Unfortunately, we were sitting in the sun and I suddenly found myself desperately needing water! Once hydrated, we headed to the dolphin show. We cut it clo
