Breaking away from the day to day

For our spring vacation this year, we decided to explore an area of Florida that is new to us. We live in Miami, a stone’s throw to Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. We’ve been to Naples and are always in Orlando. This time we chose visiting Cocoa Beach. Despite the fact that a tornado…
