Never disappoints

I really enjoyed my long weekend up in Cocoa Beach. Even though this was my fourth or fifth time to the Space Center I never tire of it. They do a good job of updating some of the content of the park to keep it current and fresh. The idea of just how vast space is and all that it contains is something that has always fascinated me all the way back to my childhood. It interested me so much that being an astronomer was the first thing I recall ever thinking I wanted to become, which was later supplanted by the desire to be a major league baseball player.

I love the old school beach town vibes of the Cocoa area. The place we stayed was a total throwback, built in 1987 with not a lot of updating. In a lot of cases that would be viewed negatively but it wasn’t. The place was clean, warm, homey and very unique. It was so old school that you opened the door to the room with a physical key, yes, a key. The room faced the water which was very cool. Ocean views when you wake up are pretty amazing. It was a great few days and I have no doubt I will be returning again in the future.
