vacation spots
I’m huge on traveling and surprising my girls!
Air bnb gives me the best places! This is part one because I have sooo many!
📍Location: Ormond Beach “ Daytona Beach” Florida Ormond Beach Daytona Beach
Good Part: There’s endless things to do! If we weren’t at the beach, in the pool, we were shopping at gift stores, at the boardwalk playing games and eating on the beach, discovering outlet malls that had even more arcades and a hidden gems!
💎 Glow in the dark putt putt! But, it’s 3d! You needed glasses or it was blurry! It was in the AC which was great! Super cheap!
💎Dicks restaurant! Yes they were mean, but we were mean back! So fun if you like to laugh! My kids LOVED it!
💎Sugar Factory! Ahh, I almost went broke! So much candy!! It is pricey!
💎 Everything was five to fifteen minutes from each other! We had a room with a kitchen so we stopped at Walmart for food! ( Helped save eating out a lot) & super easy to have lunch on the beach when it’s in the 90’s and you have precooked hotdogs wrapped up that don’t get cold!
Bad part: SAND FLEAS THE SIZE OF SHRIMP WERE EVERYWHEREEEEE! In the water you could see them! Talk about a panic attack. I’ve never seen them that big nor that many!! I was shocked at how many people kept picking them up and throwing them!
✨BEST PART!
My girls experienced a new beach. We made memories we will never forget. I didn’t have them glued to their phones, we were actively doing things! It was so cheap to do stuff I was kinda shocked. It was our first time at this beach in Florida but most definitely not our last!#beach #ThingsToDo #daytonaflorida Dick's Last Resort - Daytona Beach #sugarfactory Daytona Boardwalk Amusements #girlsjustwannahavefun
