We had a
great 2 hour drive this morning to our hotel in Titusville, Florida. We had one
stop in Ormond Beach for my favorite shoe store, now under new ownership. We really
liked the manager, a licensed orthotics maker, but the new owner turned out to
be very nice.
After
checking in at the hotel, we headed right to Cocoa. I keep thinking that I am
so glad we were here with Randy, Coleen, and B2 in 2012. Great memories keep
coming back!
Years ago we visited a Victorian village in Cocoa and could never find it again. Now I suspect Tim didn’t want to find it J. There are so many fine boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, cafés, and antique shops (even a hardware shop in business since 1885), that we easily spent a couple hours there. There were lots of people visiting off cruise ships as well as others. In fact, we noticed the area was bustling more than ever. After NASA left, the area was devastated.

Of course we
stopped at RonJon’s and I found something perfect (I hope) for D.
We found out one of our favorite restaurants,
Corky Bell’s, has closed for good. We have gone there since 1985. Since we hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch, we drove
to Dixie Crossroads for our shrimp fix of the day. Dixie owns shrimp boats and
the shrimp is always fresh.
People were
complaining today about how cold it was. Frankly, I was hot—jeans, ¾ length
sleeve cotton shirt, and a sweater. It was 67 F.
TK’s Takes:
He does not think it is warm enough yet. (He’s wearing shorts, by the way) It is
supposed to get colder tomorrow.
