Visit with Julia - Wahoo!

We traveled to Cocoa Beach, FL on the afternoon of Friday, April 20, to spend a few days with Grandma Julia. Arriving in Orlando, our plane encountered a thunder storm and was diverted to Daytona Beach airport where we sat on the tarmac for an hour or so before being allowed to return to Orlando to land two hours late. While at Daytona, we saw the Daytona Raceway stadium.

We stopped at the Seafood Atlantic store at Cape Canaveral and purchased dinner to make for Julia that evening. Rich set about creating a beautiful meal for us – Wahoo stuffed with Rock Shrimp. Yum…. It was as good as it was pretty!

On Saturday we spent some time looking for car seats on Craigs List for Luke and Leah for the rental car they would use. Found two seats for a total of $15, both within easy access. Rich’s cousin Flip picked up one for us. We drove to Melbourne where Rich purchased a meat bundle to use for the week at the resort and we stopped on the way to get the car seat for Leah.

Sunday we visited Julia’s church in Cocoa Beach, looked at pictures with her, and helped around the house with little things that needed to be done. We spent time on the dock watching the wild life (no manatees this year, however), and just relaxing.

Monday was a beach day and Tuesday we headed to Orlando to spend the week with the CA family, stopping at Flip’s house to pick up a car seat and then picking up Lars, Laurel, Luke and Leah at the airport.
