Our Florida Vacation Part 2 
We arrived early at the Kennedy Space Center. This is one of the
largest buildings .. where the shuttle is maintained and assembled with
the rocket boosters before launch. The Colombia is readied for launch.
That's an enormous Saturn rocket on display. There was
a moon rover and an imitation Moon rock
We saw an IMAX movie, took a bus tour
around the 200 sq. mile wildlife reserve, experienced a rocket launch,
moon landing, and played in the rocket garden...
A short distance from the motel, is the turkey creek nature
area. It includes a nice boardwalk thru the swamp where you can look
for aligators or call grandma on the cell phone.
We really enjoyed the beach!
The ocean beaches are really out on a very long island
connected to the mainland by causeways
One afternoon I walked to the top and scootered back down.
A Biologist from the Environmental Learning Center was measuring the annual
growth of the red mangrove plants
We visited the state park at Sebastian
inlet 17 miles south of the motel.
There is a bridge, egrets, jettys for fishing,
and a campground.
They went boarding behind large Kites. Really
big Kites
The kitchenette, cabin was comfortable.
The ocean front patio was a nice place to relax.
We ate the pineapple and planted the top.
Hope to go back to check on that pineapple plant...
Those were some of the largest yucca plants I ever
saw.
We stopped to visit my brother's family
in Illinois after 14 hours on the road.
There was ice on the car the next morning we were up early
for a 6 hour ride back to Kansas City...
