Marineland visit inspires coastal drive and oceanarium tour
The diary notes a Sunday from Miami to Daytona Beach with crowding on return routes, then a Marineland trip. Jim Wilson’s grandparents hosted dinner with family news of a newborn and a bereavement. A DeLand disappearance and sink hole rumors add anxious notes, followed by Marineland exhibits including Oceanariums, porpoises, whales, and the Electric Eel. The narrative highlights building activity along the coast and a two day stay near St. Augustine before returning home.
