Christy took the day off on Friday and since I had a convertible and she just bought an iPod, we decided to take a road trip out to the beach listening to some tunes! Along the way, we had lunch at Dixie Crossroads in Titusville -- a great restaurant the Loop used to always frequent years and years ago. Dixie Crossroads is famous for their rock shrimp that tastes just like lobster. (And it does!)
They also have awesome key lime pie. Aunt Ruth would have been proud! (Key lime pie is her favorite.)
From there, we headed to the beach over at Canaveral National Seashore.
The beach was just a few miles away from NASA and we were able to see the launch pad for the Space Shuttle and the Vehicle Assembly Building in the distance. I'd love to get out here to see a night launch. (One thing I regret not doing while I lived in Florida.)
We saw plenty of wildlife along the beach including many seagulls and this crab that was about the size of my pinky.
And then there were some birds just making themselves right at home...
It was a beautiful day and perfect weather after we got out of Orlando. We left the beach at about 5 PM to go meet friends in Orlando for dinner at 7 PM. (We made it back with 30 minutes to spare.)
