Cocoa Beach

Today I went to Cocoa Beach :) I chose there because I've seen the beach on the Gulf coast but not the Atlantic side yet (except in other states). I also chose this beach because it was the

closest to where I live, only an hour and 20 minutes instead of two hours one way.

This is the first pic I took when I got there :)

There was a little place across from the beach so I ate lunch there so I wouldn't have to move my car. I got a nice spot that was freeeee... there were some lots charging up to $10 for parking and metered parking in many places so I was a lucky duck.

Me soaking up the sun :) I bought a nice beach chair at Target because the last few times I went to the beach I really wished I had one.

Another picture toward the end of the day. The tide got much further out as the day went on. I actually went out and played in the water for a while which is something I haven't done since I was a kid because I'm usually afraid that some sea creature will sting or bite me. It was so hot and there were so many other people in the water, I decided to go for it and I had a blast :) I also saw a sand crab that looked a lot like this guy (http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo180917.htm) but when I went to take his picture he scuttled into his sand hole. It scared me at first because I've never seen a crab that big in nature, it was about 6 inches across. It was a good day off and I only got a little burned :)
