I think we got up around seven at the hotel in Fayetteville. We enjoyed our fabulous "expanded" Continental breakfast, gassed up next door and hit the road. We stopped at the Georgia Welcome Center right over the state line. This book we took with us mentioned a chain of drive-in restaurants called Sonic so we decided to go there for lunch. It was about 10 miles further on. After pulling off of 95, we passed the place had to continue down this busy highway and make a u-turn. The Sonic was behind a couple of businesses and not very scenic. It looked new. Our waitress didn't have roller skates on and the food was just so - so, like McDonalds. Pretty much a waste of time. I got a Chicken Toaster sandwich. We stopped again about 5 miles from the Florida border and gassed up again ($1.99 a gallon).
We got to Daytona just before dark, around 5:30. Mike's place is really nice, you walk out on a little porch and it's just a couple of steps to the pool and the ocean. It was very windy but there was a bright full moon. Tommy and Matthew went swimming in the pool. We overheard some people saying the pool heater was broken and wouldn't be fixed until Monday. For dinner, we had pizza from Genoveses's, a place just before the Port Orange bridge. I thought it was good but everybody else thought it was just OK.
