Florida and the ocean As the smell of the sweet, salty, summer air filled my lungs , I realized I was going to love Florida. We drove the whole way there and I could barely wait to see the ocean! I had never been there, and when we pulled into Daytona the air is what woke me up. It was so different, so new and sharp. We arrived at our house around 6:00 in the morning.
