Kennedy Space Center: Rocket Garden

From what I’ve read, under ordinary circumstances, this would probably have been one of my parts of the day. The Rocket Garden has a bunch of old rockets from the 50’s and 60’s. Up close history. They aren’t nearly as big as I would have thought. Or as well maintained. The paint is peeling and faded. You can tell they’ve spent the last few years outside in the coastal sun.

Kennedy Space Center

Just down the road from Daytona Beach is Kennedy Space Center. I’ve always been a space nut. Growing up I was convinced I was going to grow up to be an astronaut. So, yes. I spent the day here.

I like the shadow of the rocket against the wall.

Daytona Beach Sunrise

Ok, ok. I’m done. But seriously. This is pretty stuff. I can’t say there won’t be more, just not more from this beach.

Daytona Beach: Clouds at Sunrise

Pretty much got that just at the right time. I love the glowing line.

Daytona Beach: Nautilus Inn

So I got this feeling that Daytona Beach and other parts of the Northern Florida coast were built sometime in the mid to late 50s to early 60s and never really changed much after that. This just feels like something that was designed around the time of the Gemini Rockets. The inside is really nice. The view is spectacular. I’d certainly stay there again, but it is a specimen of the architecture of a certain time period. 

That’s not a good thing or a bad thing, it’s just a thing.
