In early 2000 and 2001 I lived in St. Augustine, Florida. I am an industrial maintenance technician, so the best job I could find was in Daytona Beach. By traveling I-95 it was about a 45 minute commute. Sometimes when I got off of work, especially after one of those days, I enjoyed a more scenic route home. I would take A1A which follows the coast a lot of the way between Daytona and St. Augustine. This route was always very relaxing and serene. It was about 30 minutes longer that the interstate, but it was worth every minute. The acres of undeveloped land along this route is amazing. There are long stretches with nothing but greenery on the left and beach on the right; very few houses, business, billboards, or other obstructions.

Valuable Time With My Daughter

My daughter was 6 months old when we moved there. I didn’t see her much during the week because including the drive I was away from home for 10–16 hours per day. On Sundays I would take her for a ride up and down A1A. Sometimes we would drive on the beach and maybe stop to play in the sand. Other times we would just ride and enjoy the company. This was an awesome time with my daughter, and it gave my wife a break from essentially being a single parent all week.
