This past weekend The Big Guy and I took a mini-vacation. He will be teaching summer school and this is only break for the next 12 weeks or so we decided to use the time to get away. We went to Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach. It was a fun but quick trip.

We drove in Thursday night after I got off work. So we didn’t really do much our first night there but check in and get some sleep.

On Friday we spent the day at the pool and beach. That evening we took the trolley to Ocean Walk/Board walk, at $3 each the passes were a good investment. Saved us on parking and gas plus was less hassle than trying to find things.

On Saturday we went back to Ocean Walk. The Big Guy aka the Coupon King had some coupons for the Daytona Lagoon. We each got a free round of mini-golf and buy one get one on go-carts. After that we headed back to the Ocean Walk to catch a movie. We saw Iron Man. If you haven’t seen it be sure to stick around after the credits. After the movie we headed back to Ormond Beach. We decided to check out a local place Charley Horse for dinner. It was very good. We try to avoid the chains when on vacations.
