Sites Along the East Coast of Florida

We spent two days at the Kennedy Space Center. The kids are posing with someone in an astronaut suit - I hope that suit had a/c inside because it was blazing hot out! I was surprised to see this sign at the shuttle display on cochlear implant technology, didn't know there was a connection between space science and ear science!

We spent a day in Jacksonville visiting our friend Stacy and her two adorable dogs, Hershey and Rhona! While in Jacksonville we enjoyed a couple of hours at the Jacksonville Museum of Science and History.

On our way back towards Cocoa Beach, we visited the Daytona Speedway! Margot and Jacob are shown here next to their simulator.

"Staycation" on the Space Coast

Everyone got into the boogie boarding! We'd wait until 4 pm and then head down to the beach for what Jacob referred to as "Shark Time".

Last Days of Summer Fun

The kids spent their last week of camp, where else? Pioneer Camp of course! Margot volunteered as a junior helper, and Jacob spent the week as a camper. They enjoyed making shelters, scarecrows, and cobbler, and had a great time in the blacksmith shop and making this years' signature t-shirts. They would probably report that the best part of the day involved the sounds of an approaching fire truck, and getting sprayed by the onsite fire hose!
