Of course you can't go to Daytona without going to a race! Lucky for us, we were able to go to the Pepsi 400!
The Goodyear Blimp
Air Force 2 at the Daytona Beach Airport right next to the track
A beautiful evening for a race
Dick Cheney says a few words before the race
No race could start without the F-16 fly by
The main grandstand with the Goodyear blimp
The pace car
Here comes the field in Turn 2
The field in Turn 2 again
A wreck on the Superstretch
A happy fan
Tony Stewart wins the race
Fireworks round out a great evening
The next day we went back to Daytona USA to the museum
The track is actually banked a little more than it looks on TV
One of Dale Earhardt's cars
Jimmie Johnson's car with which he won the '06 Daytona 500
The Nextel Cup
Next we were on to the historic St. Augustine
Castillo de San Marcos - one of the oldest forts in the U.S.
Canon balls away!
One of the fort towers
The fort walls & the ocean
An ornate canon
A view of the harbor from the fort
A church tower in old town St. Augustine
An ornate building
A cute street
No cute coastal town would be complete without a lighthouse!
The entrance to the tower
The 'few' stairs leading to the top of the tower
The keepers quarters
The view from the top
A peek at the 4th order Fresnel lens
Brett & Lyn
Later we went to Daytona Beach
A relatively calm evening
The sun sets on a great trip
