Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach Florida adventures

I was lucky enough to get to enjoy some time down in Florida for 3ish days.  I flew down to Florida out of the smallest airport I have ever - seriously - EVER been to.  But the price was right for the ticket, so I sucked it up!  This airport - Clarksburg (WV) airport has ONE gate.  It's a bit disorganized.  BUT, the owner is fantastic.  When our flight got delayed on Thursday, he ordered pizza for everyone.  Every.single.person. who was waiting for their flight could have as many slices of pizza as they wanted - FOR FREE.  That, impressed me.  Truly impressed me.  He, his wife, and daughter (approx 10 yrs old) were working the counter at the snack bar.  It's a family business.  :)

Once I finally arrived to Florida ALL I wanted to do was put on my flipflops - which I did.  Before I got into my rental car.  Yippee for Toes out!

My mom and uncle were already in Florida. I joined their trip halfway through.  My uncle is not an adventurous eater.  The first night, he told my mother and I go to out to eat - he wasn't joining us.  So we went to this place we randomly drove past called Florida Seafood.  I was able to call ahead to get our name on the list, so we only had a 10 minute wait - which was great.  The decor was...interesting.  A little OVER zealous in my opinion.  But - they had seafood and i was bound and determined to eat seafood every.single.meal.

I REALLY wanted oysters.  They had oyster shooters (Oysters, horseradish, and cocktail sauce).  So I got 6.  I was REALLY disappointed.  I do not recommend getting them.  First - my oysters were frozen.  Frozen.  Hard as a rock - they didn't even TRY to thaw them.  Gordon Ramsey needs to go in there and give them a makeover on Kitchen Nightmares.  I think what is even more disappointing - their menu states " Plump Juicy oysters shucked and placed in shot glasses".  The implies, FRESH oysters.  Definitely not.  Don't get it.  Don't waste your money.

These are my frozen oyster shooters

My regular entree was the Tuna Tataki - which was great.  My mother got the Scallop Oscar - which she enjoyed.  Would I go back?  Probably.  Would I recommend it?  Yes, with caution!  While we were waiting for our seat - we heard a waitress giving a recommendation to folks for a place called "Grills".  My mom and I made note, as that was our next restaurant!

I will have loads of updating to do over the next few days - so be on alert!
