Blogs from Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States, North America - page 5

Tired of sitting around waiting to be shuttled to the ship we decided to venture out and see a little bit of Cocoa Beach and area. Humming the theme to “I dream of Jennie” we jumped in the Audi and off we went. First on the agenda was food. After driving down the main strip for 3-4 miles we found a nice steak house called Durango’s Steakhouse. I ordered a 12oz rib eye steak and my bride ordered chipotle shrimp. We split an appetizer of queso w/ homemade chips. All was awesome! The steaks and other fare were cooked over a huge open flame over oak coals.

The last time I went to KSC, I was 9, so let's just say that space travel has sure advanced since then. The visitor complex is set up much like a theme park, complete with a launch experience simulator, models of several rockets, satellites, and shuttle equipment readily available to explore or photograph, a memorial wall and tribute to all ... read more
