FL Day 6: The Theme Is Pizza & FL Day 7: We Become Loners

DAY 6:
  We got started around 9am again because we were worried the rain might catch us.  There was a moment of sprinkling, but nothing to really make note of.
  The nicer weather let us get a much nicer video of the 7 Mile Bridge.  It was a long ride and we didn't get to have lunch until 3pm, but we all made it in one piece.

  We passed this place and it sounded like the best option nearby.  Bill and I split the white pizza and it was so good.

  Bill and Glenn wanted to meet up with someone at 26° Brewing Company.  I liked the sign they had out front that said they were dog friendly to friendly dogs.  There was a fluffy one there wanting to say Hi to everyone who walked in.
  They didn't have food there, but the food truck Pizzaiolo's was sitting out front in case anyone needed any food.  We got a pizza and some wings from them.  It was a good way to end the night.



DAY 7:
  The rest of the group wanted to get moving around 7am because they were nervous about the rain delaying them too many times and then missing the train.  They also wanted the handy excuse that if they got there really early that they could stop in at the Harley store.  I did not like that idea and since we were heading in another direction we did not go with them.  Bill saw them off but I was asleep when they left.
  We did some thinking on what we could do before meeting some friends and the Kennedy Space Center sounded like the most unique option.  There was also the option to go to the zoo, but I thought the space center sounded more interesting.  On the way I even did a little Geocaching.

  It was definitely cool.  I liked that the center was also involved with the wildlife.  Sea turtles use their beach to lay eggs.
  It was really informative, but not in a boring way.  There is a bus ride that takes you around the launch pads and where they build the space vehicles.  I liked seeing the different space suits through time.
  I wanted to look at everything and we ended up staying later than Bill had thought we would.  It really is an all day event.

  Mary mentioned meeting at City Walk to get dinner.  Bill and I pictured it as being some shopping area or some city street near the park.  Nope, it was in Orlando Park and we got to go through security to get there.  That was unexpected and very crowded.  Neither of us are big on Amusement Parks.
  We met at Margaritaville and I finally got to get the grouper my mom kept telling me to try.  It was pretty good but at one point they decided that the music wasn't loud enough and that they needed to turn it up.  The whole place was a bit too loud to easily just hang out and talk.
  Before too long we had to go our separate ways so they could catch their bus back to their hotel and we could get to ours.  Bill and I got some beverages at the local gas station before falling over into bed.
