THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26TH

The wind was predicted to subside so we decided to trust the forecasters and headed out. It was cold and windy. Ross measured it with his hand held anemometer and it was sustained at 20mph with gusts. This stirred up the water and there were white caps and some pretty good rollers.

Someone mentioned that it was a hot chocolate kind of day. So, I made hot chocolate. It just happened that we were passing Cocoa Beach (remember where I Dream of Jeanie lived?) when I brought the hot chocolate up on the bridge.




Hot cocoa at Cocoa Beach.




It sure did hit the spot! And the steaming mug warmed our cold hands.









This is the NASA Vehicle Assembly Building. It was several miles away from us and yet it is so large that we looked at it for what seemed like hours as we traveled parallel of it. This building is the largest one story building in the world. The interior volume of it is so vast that it has it’s own weather, including rain clouds which form below the ceiling on very humid days. No, I am not making this up!

We’ve seen many, many dolphins the past few days. We’re certain they are going out of their way to torment Tami. Each time she tries to take a photo, they either are out of range or just disappear. She doesn’t find it very funny, but the rest of us do!





The wind died down and we ate our dinner of Cajun shrimp on the back deck and enjoyed this sunset.
