He's been on a rather crummy team this year. He plays through the park and rec department and it's supposed to be a completely random pick. It's hard to believe when it seems all the tall, really good kids ended up on one team! Coincidence? I think not! It's good for him to learn to lose too! Saturday was his last game. Soon it will be baseball season!
Back to our trip...
After breakfast at the hotel, we left Marathon Key and headed north. Lots of driving this day. We passed fields of cabbages and sugar cane. Lots of agriculture in this area.
We stopped for lunch at a gas station in South Bay. Restaurant choices were slim in that area but there was a buffet with meat and vegetables at a gas station and it was fine. As it turned out, President Trump was inaugurated while we were having lunch and there was a TV mounted on the wall so we could see it. After he was sworn in, the entire restaurant began clapping. It's good to know that people are supporting our new president because like it or not, he is our president!
We drove up A1A along the east coast of Florida to Palm Bay where we spent the night at the Comfort Suites. There was a Texas Roadhouse within walking distance so we walked there for dinner. I don't know if I've ever been to a Texas Roadhouse but my steak was delicious!
We had heard that there was supposed to be a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral that evening so after dinner we set up our lawn chairs in the hotel parking lot and waited for it. We watched the countdown on our phones.
Shortly after blastoff we spotted it in the sky.
We watched it until it went out of site. We heard on the news that it was a spy satellite. It was exciting to watch and probably the only time I'll ever see a launch!
