Daytona Pier and diner at Joe's

My sister is down again for a visit. We like to take her and her husband around to see different things. We started off with a trip to Daytona for dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. The weather was good, a storm blew in as we ate  but not a bad one. The food was great the pier was a lot of fun. And I think we all had a good time.
Walking down the pier to Joe's.
 The pier is actually used for fishing too but it has a huge restaurant (Joe's Crab Shack) plopped right in the middle. The views from inside the restaurant were great. You could always walk to the left of Joe's, where there was pizza and ice cream  or you could check out the gift shop. The new pier is bring life back to old Daytona.

Getting ready to order. The atmosphere was great.
 Waiting was a lot of fun. And we had a wait. The waiters did a dance to entertain everyone and the decorations were modern beach hippie. It was a little loud for older people but the view of the beach was just awesome. A must see!
The food finally came and was pretty good. Lobster and crab how could you go wrong. They also had other items on the menu.
 We got large buckets of lobster and crab and also fish and crab cakes served with these weird onion ring things. All of the food was very good. And we ordered drinks that came with a free glass mug that had the crab shack logo on it. It was a nice souvenir for my sister and her husband.
Daytona board walk.
And then of course afterward we had to take a walk on the world famous Daytona Beach board walk. It's a great place to go at night. Lot's of fun.

The new Daytona track.







Chris had Thursday off so he decided to go check out the new track at The Daytona International Speedway since it  was recently repaved. He had a really good time. It was free to anyone who wanted to see the drivers practicing for the big race week. We are hoping to go to the Bud Shoot Out. It's not for points or anything but we like to go and make a day of it. You actually get to watch two races in one because they have the ARCA race first. There is always some good band and lot's to do.



Chris tried to take pictures with his new android phone but didn't realize it was in sepia mode and all the pictures he took look like they are about 100 years old.
