7-20-06 St Augustine FL to Miami, FL

We stayed in St. Augustine last night and swam in the 80 degree waves. It was so nice. Katie didn't want to, so she took our pictures. After we swam, we ran across the killer highway to eat some crab. Really fun. We drove through Daytona Beach and stopped and looked at the Daytona International Speedway. It's quite a tourist attraction, even on non-race days. We had no idea. We should have taken our picture in front of it, but there were too many people already doing that. But we bought some hats. It's across the street from a dog racetrack, where they race greyhounds. Gross.
We drove down to Cape Canaveral and went in that and the Kennedy Space Center. We spent the whole day here and had a great time. We didn't know we would like it so much. It was very
thrilling and there was so much too look at.
This evening we drove through Cocoa Beach where Major Nelson, Jeannie and Captain Healy lived in I Dream of Jeannie. The girls went into Ron Jon Surf Shop for souvenirs. We arrived late tonight in Miami. I figure we probably missed some interesting scenery along the Florida coast, but we have a lot of stuff we want to look at.
