Merritt Island & Cocoa Beach, Florida

Today we headed over to Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Merritt Island is where my sister (Jan) and her daughter (Shelley) lived for awhile when Shelley was a teenager.
We went through the city of Cocoa before going on to Merritt Island.
On over to Cocoa Beach, lots of par-a -sailing going on. It was a beautiful day, just a little on the chilly side, 60 degrees.
We stopped by the Kennedy Space Center on our way back........
BUT by then the battery was gone in the camera. We decided not to go through since we couldn't take pictures. Got the entrance.

This is a surf shop in Cocoa Beach.

At Cocoa Beach.

Merritt Island

This was a cruise ship.

We did not stop at the City of Cocoa. Went on over to Merritt Island and Cocoa Beach.

2008 Fleetwood Excursion Class A Diesel/40 Ft.

Here's what has been going on for the last 4 days.
While we were in Lake Wale's after going to see the beautiful Bok
Tower Gardens we decided to drive over to a little town called Bartow, FL. and look at some RV's at Dusty's Camper World.
Yes, we finally did it, after about a year or more of looking at diesel pushers, and praying the gas would come down, we found this 2008 Demo Fleetwood Excursion/ 40 Ft. with 5,000 miles (price was right) Freightliner with Cummins 360 HP and a lot of outside storage. We did give up some
storage inside for the outside storage. It has a leather hide a bed sofa and a leather
jacknife sofa (we put dad on the jacknife sofa because it is lower). Has a lot more space in the kitchen than our old one. Tile in the kitchen and tile in the bath. Bigger shower, we both love that, electric patio awning AND a Big
side by side refrigerator with water and ice in the door. John really
likes that. Has a central vacuum and washer/dryer combo. Has a king size bed with sink in bedroom. Split bath w/shower. Convection/microwave oven. 3 burner stove top plus oven.
Rear camera w/monitor plus side monitors. Booth dinette with wood table. There is one thing I really don't like, THE FLOOR. It has ugly carpet and ugly tile. Did I mention "The Price Was Right."
We are now in a town called Christmas, FL. closer to the east coast. We will be here for 6 days and then to St. Augustine for 10 days. Hope to see more of this beautiful country GOD has made for us in our new diesel RV that He has given us.
Stay with us as we continue our adventure in Florida.

One more thing this RV has is a outside TV and Stereo.
I don't think this is going to help John watch less TV.
He loves TV.

We will tell you that it was almost as hard moving from RV to RV has it was from our house into the RV. After getting the new RV

we stayed all night at Dusty's Camper World to make the move.

We worked until almost midnight and got up at 6. It was 4 pm the

next afternoon before we left with the new RV. HARD WORK!!

This is the TV & Stereo.
Outside.
