July 4th Shuttle Launch

Yesterday I rented a car and Me, Tanis, Gary and Jon went to watch the Shuttle Launch in Cape Canaveral. It was a big deal and has been all over the news for weeks. After being cancelled twice because of weather conditions, Spaceship Discovery lifted off! It was amazing, we watched it from about 10 miles away at Jetty park! I could not believe I was on the East Coast of Florida watching a shuttle launch to space, on the 4th of July! Everyone was cheering and clapping, I felt very lucky!

After watching the shuttle we headed to Cocoa beach, about 10 minutes away. It was packed there and we had a fun day at the beach. Jon had his waterproof camera so we took a ton of pictures! I love the Beach! This is the Florida I signed up for!!!

4th of July Fireworks

After being at the beach for a while, we walked down to Ron Jon (the biggest surf wear store I've ever seen) and then looked for a place to eat. We ended up getting a table on this rooftop patio overlooking the beach! It was so nice there! There was live music and it was super busy! Great view! Fighting traffic and driving back to Orlando after a long tiring day... not so fun!


I love this picure of Tanis holding her menu. This is after we found out we got a table by luck on the busiest patio in town. Other people were waiting for hours! hehe
