Well today we went to Cocoa Beach! I have not been there for a number of years...ok a lot of years. We went to Ron Jon Surf shop. The first thing we saw was a diver cleaning out one of the aquariums it was funny to see him in there like that.

| This is what it looks like on the outside. It's one of those you just can't miss it places on A1A. | | | | |

In side there were lots of surf stuff strange...
 |
| I like all the boards up like this. |

| Heidi being a little cheese cake. |
 |
| Where is your smile? |
We met Stef and Aaron there.
I was looking at the tags on the board and had to take a photos of it.
It says that surfboards are fragile! What!? Then why do people take them to the beach and ride them on waves drag them across the sand and slam them against the rocks? LOL I thought it was funny. the price was anything but.

| Silly shoes we found. |
We all went out and took some picks outside. The day was wonderful.
this is a fence I liked how it looked.
After the surf shop we all went out to eat, then off to the beach. We went to the beach that was just down the road from the house we use to live in when we were in the Air Force. Some of the housing is still there.
It looks just the same but now it is no longer military housing it's for rent and yes you to can live like the ilisted military families of years past for only.
LOL I thought that was so funny that they are now for rent. They are not bad. 3 bedrooms 2 bath family room, living room and screened in porch just feet from the beach. But after driving around there it is deffanetly not the best of neighborhoods any more. sad day. I have so many happy memories of my children growing up here.
The best thing we found is they have done a major upgrade to the beach we would go to. It use to be just a small tilted parking lot that only 4 cars could fit into and no bathroom. Big problem with little's in tow. Now its all fixed up!
This photos is looking down towards the base housing. They have torn all of the homes down that were on the left side of the road but there are still about 40 on the right side.
We then all had a lot of fun on the beach the wind was up but that did not stop the fun.
Fun running from the waves.
Alas it was not all fun and games. Poor Heidi she was caught by a monster wave and the fun was over for her.

| Cursing the sky! Why? Why? Why? |
|
 |
| Then the tears and a wonderful big sis to help wring out her clothes. Josh gave up his shirt for her for the drive home so she would not freeze. |
|
All in all we had a wonderful time and loved doing something different for a change. We hope to see more family soon.

LOVE the post- so many memories seeing old base housing and the board walk to the beach. Heidi is such a little diva lol. That's so sweet that Josh lent her his shirt so she didn't have to freeze in her wet dress. :)
