I think it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made this vacation, but my dad and i decided we were going to the east coast to watch the sunrise. Sounds harmless, but when you consider that the sun rises at 730 on the east coast of Florida, and we were a 1.5 hour drive away from the coast, that equates to a pre-6 oclock departure. Factor in checking out of the hotel and we were in our car at 530.
XM radio in our rental car saved the day for us as we kareoked our way to the beach. If it wasn't for Cutting Crew, i woulda fell asleep leaving my dad to all of the dark travelling.
Upon arrival in Cocoa Beach, we had to figure out how to access the city's cash cow. The coity knows its only main draw is the sand so everywhere you go near the shoreline you have to pay to park. Once dad and i had that mastered, we set out to the beach to impatiently wait for the sun to show.
what i said earlier about not trusting the weatherman backfired and while the forecast was for clear skies we had cloud interference with the sunrise. It made for fantastic pictures, some of which might be the best of my life. Sorry TT.
We ended up staying at the beach all day, playing football, watching some guy pull a shark all the way up to the shoreline with his fishing rod only to have it get away, and soaking up the rays. Too much so as you can tell by this final shot. It was time to go home.
