Took off at 6pm. Got back around 11pm. Watched a full moon rise over the ocean. The coast line along Florida is so very much different than what you see in California. On thing that's missing is a beach. We hardly saw any sandy places at all. At most of the places where we could see the ocean, trees and grass grew right up to it. Kevin (at M2) said they actually truck the sand to the beaches. I guess I never thought of that...man made beaches. 528 takes you over a kind of bridge to Cape Kennedy...it's actually just a mound of dirt, that takes you two miles over the ocean. I noticed there were people camped near the water in their vehicles. Cape Kennedy is on an island with Cocoa Beach. A sign said there was a casino someplace there. We ate a Steak House in Cocoa Beach. My steak was smoked and it was great. Becky had sage chicken. So, we were on the Atlantic Ocean, eating inland food...hmmm.
