Cocoa FL - 1st week in March 2026

²A trip to the Oz Museum with Gary's daughter and son-in-law.

Besides the thousands of Wizard of Oz memorabilia - there are immersive experiences.  On father's Wizard and Oz and the Van Gogh experience.

Did I mention they were here for their 29th Anniversary?

A quick Tour of Jetty Park to view the Ships.  A short wall on a long pier.

Mission accomplished!

Found some time to just hang out at home and the clubhouse.

Got to see a rocket launch from back Yard

David gets the hang of it.

Dad always read to rescue(?) his little girl.

A great day at Cocoa Beach

Lunch after at Pier 62

Caught the Blood Moon Eclipse 

And last but not least, the Zoo!

They are set up for the next light show event

What a great zoo.  It is set up for the benefit of the animals, not the people.
