Besides our trip to Epcot/Disneyworld, and the graduation pictures that I already posted...we had a couple of days to just spend with Tanessa and Jake and do a few little things. One day we drove out to Daytona Beach. I was excited to go to Daytona...mostly because of all the things you hear about the Daytona Speedway...who knew it was right on a BEACH!!
Obviously a lot of people...
We had a good time sitting out in the sun, it was a cooler day, so the water was still a little nippy, but we caught some rays...
Addi chased a few seagulls...
made a few sandcastles...
...and we had a little lunch. It was a fun few hours on the beach!
Then as we were heading home. Jake took us into the parking lot of the speedway. Nothing much was going on there, but we could hear some cars doing some practice runs...that was cool.
Here's Brent in front of the Stadium with our rental car.
It was neat to see where the Daytona 500 is run, and many Nascar events.
On our way home, we saw this little building...All covered and groomed with ivy...I thought it was interesting! and cool!
We enjoyed being with our little granddaughters, and being there for Jake's special day. We have missed Addi so much, and really enjoyed playing with her and loving and hugging her. She is such a sweetie!
And little Brielle...we really just got to know her. She has the cutest smile and giggle, and we so loved holding her and loving on her. She won our hearts over!
Even wrapped for sleep with a binkie in her mouth...she can still crack a smile!!
We will miss our little girls...so hoped that they would get a job closer to home and move back so we could see them more...but I don't think that is going to happen now.
As of today, we have been informed that Jake has been offered a good job, staying right there in Florida, and it looks like they will be staying...SO SAD! But congratulations to them, and best of luck in your plans and adventures. We miss the babies...we miss you...thanks for being such good hosts and we had a great time! Hope to be able to visit again really soon!

Congrats to them! Sad to be so far from family....but exciting...and at least you get to visit sunny FL!
We are sad too, that they are not coming back home -- we were anxious to hear if they had gotten a job, THANKS for letting us know. Darling pictures of the kids -- Oh, we miss them LOTS. We were happy to spend a couple of days with them too.
