Day One

Day one of our Florida vacation was very busy. Alison's original desire was to go to the ocean on her birthday. So we were planning on heading over to the Atlantic today. For whatever reason, after breakfast, she decided she didn't want to go and ran into the bedroom. Sarah however was now looking forward to going so we ended up talking to Ali about it and convincing her to go. To convince her, we had to promise that she didn't have to go in the water. I'm not sure why but she was set against going in. She said all she wanted to do was collect shells. We told her fine.

This presented another problem though. We were planning on going to New Smyrna Beach on the Atlantic Coast. This however, from what we could see, was not a very good place for collecting shells. We had gone to Honeymoon Island State Park the last time we visited my parents and we knew that there were tons of shells there, so we made the decision to go there today. And it turned out to be a good thing. When we got home, we found out there was an EF0 tornado that went through New Smyrna Beach this afternoon. I am glad Alison wanted to get shells instead today.
