Beach Day!

 Our first trip to Heart Pond with our inflatables.

A cooking 90 degree day.

Wonderful!!!

And these guys are big enough, I didn't blow any of those tubes up. 😁

Cocoa Beach FUN

 We woke up EARLY - 3:30am for our 7:00am flight.

At Logan, checking our bags.  Everything great and on time. We couldn't check in right away - so we went to a Manatee Cove - so cool - we saw a bunch of their backs floating above the water - a few faces and tails too.

The to our Beaches resort for a dip in the lazy river. (which was heated - and not quite as refreshing as one might want for a pool time. But fun anyway. :)

That night we walked to a yummy restaurant. (we could walk to many restaurants - very great location.) After dinner we took a walk around - and found a great boardwalk bordering the beach.

Tuesday we got to use a free beach wagon, umbrella, chairs and surf boards.  So fun.

Then we grabbed lunch to go eat under the pavilion of another Manatee park.

More boardwalks - fun.

We had our 'dress up' dinner tonight - and enjoyed fun appetizers on a rooftop restaurant facing the beach. 

We enjoyed some mini golf. Adley won.

At 11:20PM we got to watch a Space X launch from our beach.  VERY cool. We could watch the rocket blast off across the night sky - then what felt like 10 minutes later we heard this LOUD rocket launch sound.  VERY VERY COOL.

Wednesday we went to the Kennedy Space Center. We love space - it was so great to see all the cool history of our space flight - and the cool dreams for the future.

Before Dinner - a little corn hole from our hotel.

After Dinner a little sunset beach walk

Then a walk for ice cream.

Thursday we went to the Brevard ZOO and did a zipline canopy tour.  VERY fun.

I have bad pictures here.  Let's wait for Daves. 

Up and UP!

Through the Woods

Biking in the trees!!

Then we enjoyed the animals.

(If you didn't notice - it's hard to get my guys to pose for any photos...) 

We went for yummy pizza this night for dinner.

Friday was check out day. After checkout we took another boardwalk trail.

Played a round of Gator Golf.

Then we grabbed lunch to eat under a pavilian.

And checked out the first manatee park we saw on the way in.

What a fantastic vacation.
