Guess what! I went on vacation to Daytona, Florida. We also took my friend "Jenny" with us. Before we left me and "Jenny" were in my room and found this little plastic dog. We decided he was going to be our travel buddy and we took him with us. We named him Tobi! We took pictures of him at soime of the places we went. Here is a picture of him at the beach!
Isn't he cute!?! We also went to St. Augustine! We climbed up 219 steps to the top of a really old ( rumored to be haunted) lighthouse! I got plenty of cool pictures of that!
There is so much to do in St.Augustine! we also went to the Fountain of youth! That was fun! We got to have some of the water too! It tasted NASTY! G-R-O-S-S! It didn't even work! I found out later that the water was just sulfer water. The fountain of youth is a total fake. The water does come out of the actual fountain but it is not a youthful fountain. I have a picture of the fountain but they put so much fake stuff around it you can barely see it and it looks soooooo tiny!
It's pretty good for ameteurs. Well, we had alot of fun in Daytona (and St.Augustine). Hope ya'll have a good vacation this summer too!
Then when we were walking back to the gift shop (you have to walk through the forest a bit) we saw this sign that said "The Hammock". "Jenny", "Maddi", and I freaked out for some reason and had a sudden urge to go find this hammock. We were running around in the forest, with "Maddi"'s 80 or 90 year old grandpa ( i don't really remember how old he is but its somewhere around there) who had had a heart attack sorta recently in tow, looking for this stupid hammock but never found an actual hammock! We went into the gift shop and asked someone that worked there what the hammock was. It turns out that Hammock is also another word for a shady tree area...like where you would hang a hammock. HaHa! "Maddi"s grandpa was so mad! It was hilarious!
We also went to the Fort. It was kinda boring , kinda cool. That is apparently haunted also. We totally freaked out when we went into the room where they kept the prisoners. One of my friends wouldn't even go in there! We also saw the barracks. They were bunk beds with two people in the top and two people in the bottom. You know what else!!!???!!! There matresses were just pillow cases with hay in them! And not even alot of hay! Just a tiny bit of really uncomfertable hay! That sounds horrible! My friend tried sitting on it and said that the hay did nothing. It just felt like sitting on wood. there were cannons everywhere! I got some cool pictures of those!
There is so much to do in St.Augustine! we also went to the Fountain of youth! That was fun! We got to have some of the water too! It tasted NASTY! G-R-O-S-S! It didn't even work!

I have a picture of the fountain but they put so much fake stuff around it you can barely see it and it looks soooooo tiny! 
They also had alot of animals there! There was an Emu, Peacocks (even an albino peacock!), squirells... I don't think the squirells were supposed to be there... But they were! I got to feed all of the animals!!!!! Even the squirells! Did you know Emu's liked peanuts? I fed a peacock too! and a squirell... look i got pictures!!!!!
The hotel we were at had alot of activities we could do. While we were there we entered a family sand sculpture contest. My family ( and "Jenny") made a dolphin! In the sand! I couldn't belive how well it turned out! Thats our doplhin!
It's pretty good for ameteurs. Well, we had alot of fun in Daytona (and St.Augustine). Hope ya'll have a good vacation this summer too!
Love ya'll like goldfish,
"Christy".
