Day Six

Up early like normal, today we are heading to the Atlantic ocean and Cocoa Beach.

The bugs on the drive were crazy you could see them coming at the van, the front of the van was just covered it almost turned the whole car cargo black.

Hit Cocoa Beach which is by Cape Canaveral, wicked beach was the kids and my first time swimming in the ocean, water tastes bad.  We spent about 2 hours at the beach, got a little sun, but they had umbrella rentals and shower to try and get the sand out (one thing I hate about the beach, then sand afterwards).

After the beach hit an IHop for lunch, the food was ok, looks like a good place for breakfast.

After lunch headed to the biggest Ron Jon surf shop, it was huge and had some really cool stuff, it was bigger than a Best Buy or Future shop.  Got the kids some T-Shirts and Miranda finally found a dress that she had been looking for all week.

After we left the surf shop we decide that on the way out we would try to find a place to see some Manatee so we stopped at a boat launch by the Cocoa Beach welcome sigh.  Took a picture with the sign (managed to get us all in) and then checked out the dock to look for some Manatee, no luck but we think that we saw some Jelly fish (very small and some other kind of sea creature, that was dead but had a round space to it around 2" diameter and a tail).  As we were checking out the dock we noticed that a good looking rain storm was heading in, so we packed up and headed back to the house.

As we were leaving the boat launch a car pulled in and some people got out, did something (think switched drivers) and then left.  But as they were leaving they proceeded to run over a beer bottle that was not there before they arrived, I think that explains why they switched drivers.

So were are leaving and heading back and sitting at a light waiting when we get bumped, someone just hit us. So I got out surveyed the damage (which thank god there was none) told the guy it was ok (he did smell funny, pretty sure this guy was also drunk) and they off we went.

Back at the house around 7, we hit the pool again and then had some dinner and put the kids to bed.

Another great day and sad to think that only one more full day to go.
