If you visit St. Augustine, Florida, dont forget to visit the Old St. John's County Jail.  Don't worry, they wont keep you overnight if you pay your entrance fee.  With a tour guide playing the character of a 1908 inmate you will tour the jail and the home of Sheriff Perry.

Dale Earnhardt Daytona Memorial

One of the most touching moments while visiting the Daytona International Speedway was paying tribute at the memorial to Dale Earnhardt.  Standing in front of the speedway, the statue is surrounded with beautiful flowers and a walkaround platform engraved with his career highlights at Daytona International Speedway.

Daytona International Speedway

Werecently took a tour of the Daytona International Speedway while in Daytona, FL.  The 30 minute tour only cost $15.00 and took about thirty minutes.  You get to ride a tram around the track, through the infield and throughout the complex.  If you arent hooked on NASCAR when you get there, you will be when you leave.

Roadside memorial for the Charleston Nine Firefighters.

One of the most humbling feelings you will ever have is when you visit the site of the Sofa Superstore fire in Charleston, SC.  The main memorial is only in its first stages but has marble and brass markers indicating the specific location of each of the nine fallen firefighters.

Look Twice!

This billboard for motorcycle safety features my aunt Judy.  She was killed in October 2009 when her motorcycle was struck by someone trying to pass traffic.  It is located on I-64 near Marmet, WV.

Huntington Prime

Photo from my iPhone of my dinner at Huntongton Prime in Huntington, WV. It was the best steak (ribeye) that I had ever had. The photo truly doesn't do the meal justice.

Keep Up!

This sign at a business in Barboursville, WV always makes me laugh. It makes me wonder if they are giving a hint to the handicap to keep up your speed or you will get caught in the electric doors.

Badge Bunny

I made this little guy up to give to a co-worker that loves men with badges. We have actually nicknamed her "badge bunny". This is her mascot.
