Orlando, Florida....Who could not like you? We enjoyed every second we spent in this beautiful city! Right after we arrived we drove to the beach of course. [being landlocked here in Utah, it's one of our number one priorities whenever we land somewhere that has a beach] We drove a
beautiful hour and a half drive over to a town called Daytona Beach. You may have heard of it before. It's home of the Daytona 500. The first thing we saw when we drove into the city was this huge racetrack, and guess what? You can go in the international speedway for free!! We walked into the raceway where all of the seats are and it's huge!!! They offer packages that you can buy for just under $200 where you can drive a race car around the track three times with a certified race car driver. We didn't do it, because that kind of stuff
scares the crap out of me. lol. But, we did see the cars going around the track at 180mph. It was insane!! I can't imagine what it's like to see the actual Daytona 500. I bet it's awesome! From there, we drove to the
beach, and let me tell you, this beach is one of the most picturesque beaches I've been to in a long time. The sand was so soft, and the beach goes on and on for miles. We enjoyed the sunshine and the sand for a while, and even got in the water to play in the waves. It was really fun. After that we decided to drive some more to a
lighthouse we heard about. On the way we found the cutest little miniature golf place where you can feed alligators!!! It was an experience we will never forget. Then we made our way over to the light house and it was nearly
sunset so it was really pretty lighting and an awesome sight to see. My favorite part of the whole night was after we saw the lighthouse, we decided to go back to the beach and watch the sunset. You guys, you know those
moments when you just look around and realize your life is perfect at that moment? This was one of those moments for me. Rodrigo was playing in the water with the GoPro and I was sitting on the beach watching him jump wave after wave. While watching the clouds turn the most beautiful shade of pink. I don't really know how to put it into
words. But, it was
magical.
The next day we attended a really great event for the
travel club we are in, it was really inspiring! We meet people from all over the world who
inspire us so much to travel and become better people and I just love it!
The next day we went into the city of Orlando and went to the cutest park called Eola Park where we rented
paddle boats that were shaped like swans and paddled around this lake that was surrounded by a beautiful foot path. After we got off the paddle boat we went to a farmers market. Unfortunately, from there we had to head back to the airport and head back home. But, we will always remember the
fun times we shared in Orlando.
Thanks for reading, and following us around the world :)
