Florida Vacation: December 24

With the realization that our days were running short, and still so much to do, we headed down to the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse. We had been planning to visit the lighthouse for at least 4 months, since we had viewed it on a website about Daytona Beach. When we arrived, it was so much more than the 203 steps to the top of the lighthouse. There were a number of historical buildings onsite that had been preserved since the 1880’s. It was fun to explore and learn the history of the lighthouse station and the Daytona Beach area. The lighthouse is the tallest in Florida. We climbed to the top and the view was breathtaking. Andrew really enjoyed the afternoon there, and it was quite possibly the highlight of Andrew’s vacation.

Today was also the warmest and sunniest day of our vacation. We both went into the ocean and spent much of the morning and afternoon in the water. We both got burned!! It feels great to be burned in December! We went to Christmas Eve service at the Ross’s church again that evening.
