Yay! Hi Wendy and Sylvia! We'll get this thread up and running!
Our last trip in "Kit" (short for "evacuation kit") was over to the east coast of Florida to watch the Atlantis space shuttle go up. I had never seen it live, just on TV. And I was quite ho-hum about it, but when it lit up and took off, I was awestruck! Burst right into tears, I did. What a glorious experience. We are going to head over there again for another space shot next week.
Found a wonderful little county park, Manatee Hammock Park, in Titusville, to stay and to watch the launch. VERY nice park with shady sites, a big fishing pier, and really friendly staff. I think it was around $24 a night, taxes included. Full hook-ups. They have monthly and seasonal sites there, too.
After a few days there we went up to Anastasia State Park, which is really nice! Gorgeous beach and lovely shaded, very private campsites. However, I am handicapped and confined to a wheelchair/scooter and really couldn't access the beach area. Very disappointed. Missed being "on" the water as the campsites are in loops away from the beach.
We'll keep ya posted on our travels!
Hugs to new friends,
Mary Ellen
