Cape Canaveral , Titusville - November 9, 2012

After watching the weather reports, we decided that today was the day to head to the beach. Even though it was still a little breezy, it was a great day.

We parked at Cherie Down City Park and walked the beach to the pier – more than two miles.


We stopped to watch the surfers along the way. When we reached the pier, we headed out to the street and another mile plus to Ron Jon’s Surf Shop so Ann and Gary could get some souvenirs for their son. It is huge – and had just about any surf related item you would ever want.

After shopping we stopped at the Sandbar Sports Grill for a snack. It wasn’t fancy, but we shared the fish and shrimp tacos – and they were delicious! http://www.sandbarsportsgrill.net/

Fortified with our snack, we walked the beach all the way back to the park – about three miles.

We had fun collecting seashells and dodging the incoming tide. When we got back to the park, we grabbed our beach towels and watch the kite-surfers on the beach.
We spent most of the afternoon relaxing on the beach then headed to Titusville where Ann and Gary promised us an incredible meal – and they didn’t lie! We went to the Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant for an early dinner.

When we sat down we were served the most unusual free appetizer – corn fitters covered with powdered sugar. They tasted a little like funnel cakes and were really yummy! Ann and Gary recommended the rock shrimp, so we decided to give it a try. OH MY GOSH! It was incredible!!! The shrimp tasted like lobster and were served with drawn butter. Dinner included a wonderful fish soup and baked potato – then we asked for another basket of fritters for dessert! We are adding Dixie Crossroads to our list of places to go again! http://dixiecrossroads.com/index.asp
