One thing about us is: we love to go on dates. Haha but the true hidden gem in that statement is, our dates are not limited to our home or city. We ventured out recently and did something we have never done: decided to do a one day trip to Daytona Beach.
I was excited and nervous. I’m an over planner when it comes to travel but hey I threw caution to the wind and went with it. And I must say, we had a ball.
I didn’t realize how much history, things to do, and fun was in Daytona. You only hear about the beach but there is so much more.
Since we decided to do this on a Sunday, we did a driving tour of the city. We did visit Bethune Cookman University.
Oh and you definitely couldn’t miss Daytona Speedway
Plus there are museums and other areas of interest for visitors but you know what our main focus was: the BEACH!
So I was super excited. The day was beautiful. I was with my love
and we were having a date on the beach. What more could a girl ask for.
Now, this was the first time I’ve visited a beach and you could drive/park on the beach! Oh yeah let’s do this.
The day was beautiful but the water was cold. We played in the water. Lounged a little bit. Relaxed. Listened to music and people watched.
Now since this was a spontaneous trip, we didn’t pack food for the beach but no worries there were food vendors there.
We truly enjoyed Daytona Beach. The small city is full of fun for couples and families.
It was so refreshing to see the families at the beach having fun together. Fathers, mothers, kids and friends all lugging and enjoying the moment.
We all need to take more time to enjoy life. Laugh more often. Relax even more.
Why was the last time you took a spontaneous weekend date getaway?
