Birthday Beach Road Trip ✨

 Hello lovely beings ✨ 

May 27th was my 33rd birthday, and ya girl needed to be in some water.
Next stop, Daytona beach!!

We packed outr bags, got our proper time off work, and got an early start! This was our first road trip together, and the drive was about 6/7 hours in total. My BB is a trooper, and got all the driving done himself...since I am not driving legal [nor do I want to be 😅]. Driving through South Georgia reminded me how odd some people can be. There were like 20 billboards talking about Jesus coming back, and have we repented before the zombie apocalypse comes. Yes in the same billboard, lol!

We were a little ahead of schedule of our AirBnB being ready for us, so we made a pit stop in Jacksonville to eat...and peruse some local card shops. Our first food stop was Sumo sushi, and we do not recommend 😅. It was a calm atmosphere, and people seemed to come in after us, but the quality of the sushi rolls were a step below Kroger Sushi. We also stopped at two card shops. One, we were able to find some nice singles in and they also gave me some freebies for it being my bday weekend. The other...we found ourselves my first Pokemon Center ETB, and for Paldea Evolved! We got the deal of the cantury, in this pokemon economy, and only had to pay $100 for it! We of course popped that thang open!

Finally made it to our Airbnb and settled in, Then, in the evening, I had a hankering for some Elotes. We found a little Latin spot, and got one order thinking it was going to be one piece. It was two! Even with the not so great service, that corn was damn delicious!

Even with doing so much day one, we were still able to make it to the beach for some fun! We spent a good 1-2 hours there, playing in sand, getting tossed around by waves, and collecting seashells along the beach. Soon as our hunger pangs started hitting, we made our way back to the AirBnB. Got our showers in, changed....and went back on to our Pokemon hunt! Jacksonville and Daytona felt like it was saturated with card shops. It felt like they had way more than we do! Then it was time to pack back up, and make our journey on back home. 

We made a pit stop at the Port Orange mall before fully leaving, and found ourselves a pokemon vending machine. It almost took my money 😅, but we called customer service. They fixed it, and offered us a free one...but the freebie got stuck! Almost like it was telling us to just go home lol! We also stopped at Bucc-ee's along the way since I hadn't been to one yet. Wanted to see what all the hype was about, and hype warranted. The amount of yummy cooked food they had, and snacks! I ended up picking a couple pins lol. Lastly before fully focusing on driving home, we stopped at the Florida Center. I'm sure it was more popping back in the day, but it felt a little lackluster once we made it there. Still got some souvenirs for BB's nieces, and some orange slices for me.

All in all, such a good little road trip. I'm already excited thinking about where we can go next!
