Anastasia State Park

We left Jetty park in Cape Canaveral this morning heading north on I95. Stopped at Gamble Rodgers state park north of Daytona beach intending to camp, but they were full. We drove on another 40 miles to St. Augustine and Anastasia St. Pk. We were able to get a campsite for tonight, but they are full for Friday and Saturday nights. I will ride my bike to camp office at 8 am. to get on a list tomorrow for cancellations. If that don't work we move on. This afternoon we walked about 3 miles on the beach for exercise and more sun. The temperature is great in mid 70s, but it did rain a little bit this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon the wind was so strong we had to leave the beach because the blowing sand stung the skin.

Yesterday we went to Kennedy Space Center. We took the NASA up close tour and it was $59 each. Didn't think it was organized very good. Had lunch there. We both had cheeseburger and french fries and soft drink. The bill was $28. Today we rode bikes around the park and spent time on the beautiful beach. This sure is a great campground. It is $35 per night.

Jetty Park Campground

This morning we left Sebastian Inlet St. Pk. and drove to Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral. This park is the premier park in the U. S. for location. You can watch the space shuttles go up from this park. The park also borders the channel that many cruise ships use and also it is on the Atlantic ocean with a beach and fishing pier. We rode around in the afternoon of bikes and about 4:30 we were at the gift shop and I asked when the cruise ships go out. They said between 4:30 and 5:30 on Sunday afternoon. So we hurried back over to the channel to watch them all go out. Took a lot of pictures and videos. Tomorrow we plan to tour Kennedy Space center.
