Melbourne and the Beach

Florida, Road Trip, States

We woke up to another glorious Florida winter day. Temperature perfect. Skies blue. We chose to just hang out in the campground all morning. Brought the arm chairs out into the shade of the trees and read our books. Then at midday we climbed into the car rolled down the windows, opened the sun roof, and headed out looking for adventure. We drove north to Titusville then east to Canaveral National Seashore. We could see the Cape Kennedy Vehicle Assembly Building in the distance and lots of birds in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge but we headed to the beach. We spent a fabulous hour not only enjoying the surf, the sand, and especially the sunshine, but remembering when nearby New Smyrna Beach was our go-to beach way back when and thinking about a time before development when all of Florida’s beaches were pristine like this.
