Photos from Daytona Beach, Florida

I took LOTS of pictures on vacation, mostly of Kennedy Space Center, but I had a few shots of other parts of the vacation. Our room was really nice - 18th floor of a 19 floor tower, ocean view.


These two are the views from our unit (two bedroom, two baths, living/dining area, full kitchen).

This is the view of the pools from our balcony.

From the pool area, our room is way up there! Ours was the second floor from the top, third balcony over. Keep in mind that the purple wall separates one balcony from the next, so ours was in the second set of balconies, left side.

One afternoon, some bozo a couple of floors down decided it would be a neat idea if he and the family (kids included) fed the seagulls. I'm sure future guests will be thrilled that people were doing this. However, we took the opportunity to get some neat shots of the gulls hovering on the wind.

Early morning at Daytona was quiet while we were there. It was still cool at this hour, and the lifeguard had just set up shop after the tide went down. Despite the low water temperatures, there were plenty of people swimming in the ocean during the week.

The Space Shuttle was still on the launchpad. It will be taken in sometime this week for repairs for the damage caused by the hailstorm late in February. (The hail you say!)

The first time I was at the KSC, the old "worm" NASA symbol was still on the building.

This one was taken to show the size of the VAB. Notice the water tower between the two grey doors.

The last few pictures are on our last night in Daytona. It was a pretty clear night, and the moon was full. The following night, we'd be blessed to watch a lunar eclipse on our way home. Our last hour's drive was directly towards the eclipse! Too bad I couldn't get a decent picture of it.
