A 12 hour drive and our 2nd family vacation. Grammie Focht was gracious enough to let us use her timeshare at Daytona Beach and was a part of making it special. Grayson at first was scared of the waves but just like anything with him, on his own time he fell in love with waves and ocean and just like that a Beach Bum was born. We would usually spend the mornings at the beach and the pool and then the afternoons doing different activities like local parks. One afternoon, we went to the Daytona Experience so Grayson could see the "racy" cars and his favorite Jeff Gordan. Ryan showed us some of his car skills as the tire carrier in the big crew challenge while Grayson cheered him on. A day trip to Magic Kingdom was one of last adventures, the highlights were the "It's a Small World Ride," Mickey 3D movie, and the Dream Come True Parade. Another 12 hour drive home, and the words from our child that made it amazing, "Thank you, Daddy for the Beach."
