Penny's Birthday Weekend at Daytona Beach!

In my opinion it is the best way to celebrate your birthday - on the beach, soaking up the rays, relaxing poolside or in the white sands of Daytona Beach. It was a great relaxing 4 days that Rudy and I spent in Daytona on the beach. We walked on the beach, soaked up the sunshine and swam in the pool as much as I could. We ate at great restaurants and visited the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse at the farthest point of A1A South that you can go. We ever climbed the 203 slim winding steps to the top of the Lighthouse and took in the spectacular view over the Atlantic Ocean. Then to top it all off Rudy surprised me with a Richard Petty Ride-Along on the 2 1/2 mile, 33 degree high-banks of Daytona International Speedway going 165 miles an hour in the Car of Tomorrow from NASCAR. Just like the sign says at the the Track, 'FEEDING MY OBSESSION - MY NEED FOR SPEED! It was awesome and a great experience that is hard to compare anything to. On our way home from the Beach, Rudy took me to dinner at Don Pablos for the final portion of celebrating this year. I don't care what others say, birthday really aren't that bad when you can celebrate them like this!
