Brian, bored as we drove through North Carolina.


A rainbow and a big truck


Me and my new obsession: Sonic.


It did say "Kelly <3 Ashlee Simpson" but Brian fixed it.


Brian, Megan, and Greg at our beach - Atlantic Beach.


Being silly on the beach.


Aww, me and Brian at the beach.


Getting ready to go out to dinner on the beach at Sneakers.


Brian being a huge dork in his dollar store glasses.


That's my awesome boyfriend.


What a little hottie!


Joe's Crab Shack - the second best place to eat in Jacksonville Beach (Sonic is #1).


Brian about to ride a wave.


Daytona Beach!


Daytona Speedway


Alligators at the mini golf place. They're real!


A table at the Cruisin' Cafe dedicated to Dale Earnhardt.


He actually visited this place a lot and signed the ceiling a bunch of times.


The whole room was on big Dale Earnhardt memorial.


The Cruisin' Cafe in Daytona Beach. We sat inside a racecar to eat!


A ride on the pier at Daytona Beach.


Helipcopter rides at Daytona Beach.


This is what you do when it rains all day at Daytona Beach - pierce your nose...


...Or your lip!


Our souveniers from Daytona Beach - Skipper and Tom the turtles who liked to sleep on top of each other.


JACKSONVILLE ZOO


Wildabeasts.


Two funny looking things.


I forget what this was but it's cute.


Rhinos


More Rhinos.


Huge ostrich


A little alligator


Zebras are so cool!


The monkey kept trying to grab the zoo guy's camera.


More monkeys.


I wonder if this is Skipper and Tom's dad?


Lazy cheetah.


We woke him up.


Lions


Lions again.


Mama giraffe and baby.


Brian and I with the cool gorilla dude.


These chimpanzees tried to grab his camera, too.


They like to climb their cage.


Cutest face ever!


The gorilla was pouting.


Some kind of tiny tree monkey.


More apes.


Another gorilla - they like to show off their rears.


This one was eating bugs off of himself.


Lemurs cuddling together.


Goldfish bigger than my dog.


These fish were cool.


This one liked to have his picture taken.


Pretty birds.


All these panthers did was sleep.


More birds.


Swans


Birds up on the fan.


These sea otters were the coolest animals in the whole zoo.


They do flips in the water all day long.


Brian getting a close-up of this bird.


This was right before the bird bit him thinking he was food.


Feeding nectar to the lories.


This was such a cutie!


Big swimming things.


I forget what these are, too.


Ugly anteaters!


The closest I got to seeing a manatee since they don't keep them at this zoo.


Did you know koala bears sleep 20 hours a day?


Wicked scary rattlesnakes.


A lizard or something.


A cute little tree frog.


These koalas are seriously so lazy.


The kangaroos are pretty lazy, too.


Big porcupines.


Smelly flamingos


These little things were everywhere at the zoo, just running free.


My cute baby!


They liked to wrestle.


And this one just liked to pose.


Crocodile


Another crocodile.


This croc surfaced right under our feet.


Sleepy bobcats.


This poor bald eagle had a broken wing... doesn't he look fake?


Grizzly bear


Woah, a little too close for comfort there.


This was cool. It's a rock with thousands of shells that Native Americans collected and put together a long time ago.


The sickest frog you'll ever see.


Scary snake.


Elephants


Missy the elephant.


Brian and I riding the train through the zoo.


Right before we went out to the club.


Ugh I suck.


We chased this crab as he ran sideways across to beach to his little home.


Relaxing by the pool on our last night.
