Yesterday (Saturday, July 10th) we got married. Guess what we did for our wedding reception? You got it! We went fishing at our favorite spot on 280 lake.
Tonight finds us in Florida for the start of our fishing honeymoon. Gotta love air travel. We started from the Quad Cities airport at 5 AM. Here we are arriving in our sleep!
Left Quad Cities airport at 6 AM sharp. Had a great flight to Atlanta airport. Thought we would have to scurry to catch our next plane but the next gate was right next door so we had time for a quick ciggy and then the next flight was delayed for takeoff so we grabbed a hot dog and another ciggy at the airport. Took off from Atlanta around 11AM and arrived in Daytona Beach around noon. Look at the cool clouds out the plane window......
Coming into Daytona Beach in the air is really awesome. You fly way out over the ocean and come in from the east. Miles and miles of beach as far as you can see either direction. TOTALLY cool! Here is a shot outside the Daytona Beach airport. The palm trees are sooooo cool!
We were both feeling a little tired so after about and hour of fishing we headed to Domino's for a pizza which we took back to the cabin for a bed picnic. We were treated to a nice little thunderstorm over the lake while we ate and watched a little tv (and we mean literally a "LITTLE" tv LOL).
end of day 1...a really great one too!

When we went to rent the car we had a little issue with them not taking debit cards (didn't have a problem when they took it on the internet and didn't say anything about it on the website) so we went to a different rent-a-car company who did. Cost was a little higher but we had enough to cover it. Thought we were gonna be stuck in Daytona for a minute there. Onward to Cresent City!!!!! Drove through a downpour or 2 on the way but when we arrived at our resort around 2 PM it quit raining. Great people here. Here is our rental car in front of the cabin.
Got all our stuff in our Cabin and hit the dock for some fishing! Gayle caught the first fish of the trip (of course). A gorgeous sunfish with a red belly and it was a real nice size. Forgot to take the camera so ya'll (that's my southern accent coming back LOL) will have to take our word for that one! And Gayle saw her very first gator! How cool was that?
