Daily Dose of Daytona – Museums

Last weekend was another synchro weekend, this time in Daytona Beach.  Always a good time – Daytona Beach during spring break.  Woohooo.  Last year we didn’t arrive super early and just drove down to the beach and ate at Steve’s Famous Diner with the kids.  This year we arrived early and found ourselves without a plan.  We laughingly considered a shopping trip to Kohl’s but as we were pondering this TW spotted a museum sign.  I crossed a couple of lanes of traffic and we were on our way to the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts & Sciences.

I have to say it, the museum was a pleasant surprise.  It was bigger than I expected.  It covered a wide range of "topics".  The Coke display was obviously a hit for TW and I found it more interesting than most Coke displays.  The cars and trains were cool.  The teddy bears were frightening in a way that Egyptian mummies can never be.  And the mummies weren’t bad either, considering I have mummy issues stemming from my childhood.  (Remind me and I’ll tell you about that some day)  The museum also has a nice little nature trail, again a surprise, even though parts of the trail were closed while we were there.

If you’re in Daytona Beach and you don’t want to do the Nascar thing or the drunken beach  thing then give the museum a try, I think you’ll enjoy it.
