So it ias now time for Cocoa Beach
Friday Dec 5th Cocoa Beach:
We arrive at the Holiday Inn Ocean Front in Cocoa Beach and check in the weather is quite nice today and warm enough to stroll in the water at the ocean out behind the hotel. The room we have is a kids suite mind you it is a room the size of All Stars with a section blocked off and a set of bunk beds and another kids size bed in it not the best room we have ever stayed in but for 49 dollars a night we are not complaining. We get everything we need into the room and go for a walk around the hotel to check it out the pool has a pretty nice kids area and the girls want to go check it out after dinner tonight which is fine by us, So now we are off to the beach to check out the ocean for the first time in Paige Madison and Spencer's life. Madison isn't to sure about the waves for the first 15 or 20 minutes we are down there but she loves looking for shells. Spencer was impossible to keep out of the water and Paige just loved it all the water the shells the birds everything. So we play on the beach for about 2 hours running in the surf and finding shells we now have quite the collection the waves are rolling in at about 4 feet high this afternoon. The last time I was at the ocean was in 1978 when we were at my grandparents trailer down in West Palm Beach. We loved running up and down the beach and looking to see if we could see any of the cruise ships coming in and out we did see the Wonder and a Carnival and Princess ship all in at port the girls loved seeing them. We found ourselves some parts of sand dollars and some pieces of sea turtle shells from some baby turtles that we figure didn't quite make it very far. After we played for awhile there we went back and washed up the kids to get the salt water and sand off of them and went for a drive into Cocoa to the mall and to get some dinner we went to Stea and Shake this was ok but not quite what we were looking for but it was fast and filled out stomachs. Now off the the hotel and for a swim in the pool I stayed in the room with Spencer and Lisa took the girls to the pool they had a great time but I so wanted to watch Disney channel but couldn't find it on the TV. When the girls came back we got them to bed and watched some tv we made it an early night as tomorrow we have some great things to go and do.
