I went to Angelic Gardens for the first time this week,and wish I had tried it sooner! I went for a deep tissue massage, and got a great massage. It was just what I needed. So many places advertise deep tissue but what you end up with is not deep at all. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Bright Catholic Church with a friendly congregation and convenient to Ormond Beach. We were also able to partake of Knights of Columbus Pancake, eggs, sausage, coffee, and juice breakfast for $5, which is held first Sunday of each month.

I spent a Friday morning here. It was super quiet with plenty of time to enjoy each piece of art. It fit in beautifully with the reading I've been doing lately - "A Land Remembered" and anything by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. If I'd seen this art (especially the mural at the beginning with native Florida plants) sooner, I would have been able to better visualize what I read. Here's to Florida!

Local groups have worked long and hard to put this together. Wide range of paraphernalia, uniforms, models, documentation, etc. from multiple wars. Extremely interesting. Well worth the stop. Near lots of other features - antique shops, chocolate factory tour, magic shop, jewelry, restaurants, etc. We strolled in and stayed over an hour

We had such a great time solving the Tesla room that we are going back tomorrow to put our brains to work in another room! The young lady who welcomed us was so friendly and helpful (yes, we asked for a few hints along the way), that we highly recommend “Code to Escape” to anyone looking for a fun, team-building experience.

We stopped to check out MOAS and found it to be an excellent place to stop in Daytona. The displays were professional and neat and very well maintained. The antique furniture on display is exquisite. We also liked the train cars and the Root family display of bottles and antique Coke machines very unique plus so much more. The planetarium had a wonderful show and don’t forget the gardens as you leave.

This former home of J. D. Rockefeller has a very interesting history. The free entry (donations are welcome) is nice, and if you can - call ahead for a guided tour (with the bonus of seeing the third floor). An app for our phone for a self guided tour was available which gave us a nicer experience than just wandering around by providing a narration at individual stations throughout the house. With so much information about J. D. Rockefeller & Standard Oil, and plenty of memorabilia from that era, we easily spent a couple of hours visiting.
