Daytona Beach Penthouse

All day Friday Ace worked on an airplane for some friends. At the end of the day Ace was asked if he would like to take the family to Daytona Beach for the weekend. The owner of the airplane owned a penthouse there and was offering it to us for the weekend. We couldn't resist taking up the once in a life time offer of staying at the tallest building at Daytona Beach. The penthouse consisted of the 24th, 25th, floor and the roof top 5,400Sq. ft.
A tour of some of the living space.
Our view to the North.
Our view to the South.
View from the master bedroom.
Relaxing in the living room just before we return home.
Eating peanut butter & jelly in the dinning room.
An elegant kitchen with plenty of space but not stocked for a family of seven with little children (cups & plates etc.). The range was so complicated we had to get out the instruction manual and then we were still confused. By time Ace got Saturday morning breakfast made, this pregnant woman was past starvation and ready to drink my eggs raw. So for dinner we went out to eat.
Dinner at TGIF
For Me?
. . . Aaahhhh!
The kids loved the pool more than the beach. I think its the calm water. Sunday we went out for one hour and got a sunburn. Mommy forgot the sunscreen. Bad Mommy! Those that have Ace's tanning genes just got tan.
Sam ready for a swim.
Roof top view, 260 feet high!
Our view to the West.
It's not that far down if you fall just from the roof to the 25th floor
.


Lots to see from way up high.
Looks like surfboarding class.









Banner tow is at eye level when you're at the penthouse. Still have no clue on what the banner was trying to communicate.
Pelicans that would fly past our window.
If they flew past our window heading North you would get to see them again in passing heading South with in 10 seconds.

Thank you Lord, for a great weekend get-a-way!
