The Big 3-0!

Well my friends I did it. I turned the big 3-0 yesterday. This morning I woke up and went to my fitness bootcamp I've started to work off the Chocolate Cobbler I had from Cracker Barrel last night lol. (I'm so tired!)

To celebrate my birthday, Eric took Kaylea and I to Daytona Beach for Saturday night and Sunday. We stayed at a little place called the Hawaiian Inn and it was nice and relaxing. It was very family oriented... not the Ritz, but good enough for us. What was great is the view from our balcony - right onto the ocean!

Saturday night we went to a Luau that they do there. It is a show with Hula dancers and Hawaiian music. I got to go up on stage and learn the "Huki Lao" (not sure the correct spelling) in front of everybody, and then later they brought Eric and Kaylea on stage to do some dancing too! Getting Eric on stage to dance with a Hula Girl pretty much made my night (he's not one to go on stage). So it was a great time! Kaylea practiced her swimming and we had a chance to relax as a family. Daytona is a lot nicer than I expected it to be. I always pictured it as a dirty beach and a party town, but in fact where we were was very clean, clear water and family oriented and not crowded. We want to make it a point to do a one night getaway every couple of months. Its great bonding time for all of us and relaxing time too... gets you out of the reality of the world as you know it and takes your mind off stressful stuff! You should do the same! :-)

Here are some more pics from our trip to Daytona Beach.
