Although the campground is physically located in Ormond Beach, it is actually just north of Daytona Beach. Our site is excellent here for the 3 days we will stay:
It is an end space and has plenty of room for both our vehicles and is close to the clubhouse and swimming pool. It's too bad we aren't staying longer.
After getting set up and going to the office to pick up local information, we headed out to discover some of the area. We're only a few miles from the beach at Daytona, so we stopped at several different locations to see the water and check out some potential spots we may want to visit while here. There were sections of the beach that had vehicle traffic where you could park right on the beach, as shown below:
It was convenient to park close to where you set up your beach chairs and blankets. Not all of the beach areas were like this, but we thought it was a neat idea. We ended the evening by going to a buffet dinner at a Chinese restaurant that was recommended to us by the office staff. It did not disappoint.
Our plan today is to do more exploring and pay a visit to Josie's sister's house later today. They are getting ready to take a 2 week trip to Puerto Rico to visit their brother. If there is time while we are here, they will come out to visit us at our campsite.
Our original plan was to go to the Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch on Friday, but we found out it is 80 miles to the Center from here. We may have to alter that plan since we don't want to use the gas to backtrack that far. There are suppose to be some areas near here where the launches can be viewed, but obviously not up close. We'll decide after we do more research. Of course, the "big wedding" is also on TV Friday, so that may also influence our schedule. At any rate, we are looking forward to a few days of enjoyment here...
