WISCONSIN FRIENDS AND DIXIE CROSSROADS PART II

Hilton Hotel
Cocoa Beach, Florida

57F, Sunny

First thing this morning we called Son Brian to catch up on Poppy John's condition in the hospital and his bout with the flu and that of our snow covered house. Both seem to be OK. We wish John a speedy recovery!

We moved from the Homewood Suites to the Hilton Hotel on the beach where our truck will be parked for the next two weeks. TK is an expert on using Hilton Honors points, so  we have not yet paid for a night's stay. We can see the ocean from our room.

Our dear Wisconsin friends, Donna and Lawrence, arrived about 2 p.m. after their flight in. Everyone was hungry so we headed to Dixie Crossroads, where else???

Again the meal was perfect. This time TK had Royal Red shrimp, as did Donna and Lawrence. I had  the medium brown shrimp again. Our waitress said both kinds were fresh from the Gulf. Donna was a bad influence so we had Key lime pie this time--of course we had already eaten lots of corn fritters. The pie was as good as any we have had in Key West. We forgot to take a photo to document our visit!

Back in Cocoa Beach we stopped at Ron Jon's. Donna liked my new RJ jacket so she bought one just like it! Both of us bought sarongs after the saleslady showed us how to make a beach cover-up with it. We both love soft turquoise!

From our hotel room, we could see the NCL Epic leave port tonight--tomorrow we cruise!

TK's Takes: not too many people on the beach--no one in the water.
