ASTRONAUT MEMORIAL PLANETARIUM & OBSERVATORY

Cocoa Beach is a gorgeous town, and mostly associated with getaways and Cocoa beach family retreats. Many names flash before us, at the mere mention of Cocoa Beach such as Ron Jon Surf Shop, Cocoa Beach pier, exquisite spas and much more! It is rarely mentioned of informative structures that are built primarily to enhance your child’s visual sense and general knowledge!<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9f5y9_y_AEt4Rj8834BPcLAABM-00pyNKY4HaTsuTw5d7ujm4i2CCgEegiVVfC5qufMgZDBZRmGycVb1-cevPIvF4S_o7UEqsW0djpAIgsbCQvujS9fgt3I2WK5zbPnTy8XU7x52CtsHA/s1600/300px-BCC-Planetarium-and-Observatory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9f5y9_y_AEt4Rj8834BPcLAABM-00pyNKY4HaTsuTw5d7ujm4i2CCgEegiVVfC5qufMgZDBZRmGycVb1-cevPIvF4S_o7UEqsW0djpAIgsbCQvujS9fgt3I2WK5zbPnTy8XU7x52CtsHA/s1600/300px-BCC-Planetarium-and-Observatory.jpg" /></a> Brevard Community College Planetarium and Observatory, also called The Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory (AMPO) , is one of the largest astronomical observatory and planetarium in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The facility consists of a planetarium, public observatory, a 210-seat planetarium theater, demonstration halls, classroom (used by Brevard Community College) and an art gallery featuring works of Messier among other prominent artists!<br /> <br /> Apart from featuring a 3-story IWERKS Movie Theater and laser show where they show science and nature films, the building also houses a fully accessible observatory and a museum devoted solely to space explorers from around the world. The Discovery Theatre is a 70-foot overhead hemisphere onto which images from a number of projectors are shown, providing multimedia, educational and entertainment programs to schools in the vicinity and the general public.<br /> <br /> Large format films are shown on the huge 3-story high screen power-driven with 10,000 watts of spectacular surround sound system creating a spectacle you cannot forget. Rooftop public observatory allows visitors to view planets, stars galaxies and other celestial bodies with their naked eye through a 24 inch diameter Ritchie-Chretien reflector telescope handled by the observatory staff! The rooftop observatory is home to 12 and 24 inch reflectors and a superb 6-inch refractor that provides sharp images of lunar craters, the rings of Saturn, or the moons of Jupiter!<br /> <br /> The two exhibit halls: Science Quest Exhibit Hall and International Hall of Space Explorers feature hands-on exhibit and displays! The BCC Planetarium & Observatory offers several unique ways to explore the universe. Stun your friends with the Van de Graaff Electrostatic Generator and survey the Earth's rotation at the Foucault pendulum. The starry sky is reproduced using an archetype dual projection system which is a combination of Minolta Infinium and Digistar II star projectors. The real night sky is revealed through one of the leading telescopes in terms of size, in the whole of Florida. Cocoa beach family retreats and getaways is what keep the people talking; however it is the enlightening and the more informative side of the town which is seldom illuminated. If you visit this beautiful town, do not miss out on enhancing your children’s knowledge about history, artifacts and the lost treasures!

A justifiably famous stretch of Atlantic beach, it provides many activities including beach volleyball, surfing, sunbathing, surf fishing.<br /> <br /> Cocoa Beach Pier is known as one of its greatest attractions; located in Meade Ave, it comprises of exquisite fine dining restaurants, Bars for a light conversations over a round of drinks, Gift shops keeping souvenirs and gifts for your loved ones. For a fun-filled fishing spree, fishing and other sport equipment is also up for rental.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_YIhuH4SIoiH1rSI-oV1ZDhEm2t_2ZO2eM8hnRoIRFN4k8ThmkIG4TWSu71SB_DW2P9InLY9Uqeg44kREfunMPPs_kRB53Oh13UDKd8aMVjdzfDwTW_pn5LlQ0vJJzdwfLG03asCaOLXt/s1600/Cocoa+Beach+Pier.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_YIhuH4SIoiH1rSI-oV1ZDhEm2t_2ZO2eM8hnRoIRFN4k8ThmkIG4TWSu71SB_DW2P9InLY9Uqeg44kREfunMPPs_kRB53Oh13UDKd8aMVjdzfDwTW_pn5LlQ0vJJzdwfLG03asCaOLXt/s320/Cocoa+Beach+Pier.jpg" width="320" /></a>To sum it in a phrase, The Cocoa Beach Pier is pretty much just a tourist trap, with an excellent view of the ocean! It costs only $1 to view the entire cocoa beach pier, unless you saved a receipt of the restaurant! At the end of the Pier, there sits a little cozy bar emblazoned with traveler’s doodles like “Sally+Billy 4ever”. It seems like couples who visit like their memories to be attached with the Pier for years to come! Appearing a little to the shabby side, and edging on a borderline rickety façade, it remains to attract couples and friends alike for fun in the sun!<br /> <br /> Marlin, a restaurant at the Pier seems to attract most of the tourists, others are just around for the breath taking view of the ocean, or just to sit back and let the cool winds soothe their senses! The ocean is particularly enchanting at night, blanketing the land with a wave of ripples right down to the horizon - what a visual treat that is! Cocoa Beach beaches attract most tourists annually and continue till today. It is a great vacations spot regardless of age! The crowd at the pier is young and raucous, but a few feet north you can find a good spot to hang out. There are usually surfers here, who you can watch for fun. The old school nostalgia of the place is one of the reasons it’s still a hit with young and old alike!

I, for one, loved it - It was a great experience and the Lazy River was equally pleasurable. They have recently added newer shops like the famous Sugar Factory and Blizz, and Brad Garret’s comedy Club. Beginning of next year, there are talks of a new thrilling nightclub called Hakkasan.

Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort — transcending to the land of dreams!

A little heads up, before you start to exchange your summer sandals for those fall gumboots, think of a self-pampering spree and pack your bags for one quick beach trip! Yes, there may be a more favorable weather and autumn leaves blanketing North Georgia, but in Florida?<br /> <br />  They don't have the autumn leaves rolling till mid-December. If family outings and forced fun makes you cringe, we have the perfect solution. There's a resort in Cocoa Beach that is justly a one-stop shopping for a beach getaway studded with sparkling amenities that win your heart right away and cuts down on extra outlay. You can bid farewell to budgeting and all those tedious calculations and say Hello Ron Jon! Plus, who wants to deliberate on vacation?<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUM_OEvgv5c8Avme_QvE1gk6pYCa9kJxAyJzS8bak0fSrY6zk9XJPUGMCMYvZKhUxtaFzmfFnx7_OfGSeUdUabCx2h5yaaIl2ZNpiZXrtlf17q8alcymWtbrZQQZ6SrC5zOFEmL5rnZ_xF/s1600/cape-caribe-resort.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUM_OEvgv5c8Avme_QvE1gk6pYCa9kJxAyJzS8bak0fSrY6zk9XJPUGMCMYvZKhUxtaFzmfFnx7_OfGSeUdUabCx2h5yaaIl2ZNpiZXrtlf17q8alcymWtbrZQQZ6SrC5zOFEmL5rnZ_xF/s320/cape-caribe-resort.jpg" width="213" /></a> Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort is definitely one such place that would stun you make you want to live here! Seriously, I’m all for it, anyone wants to join in? Practically fit, this resort has enormous villas and impeccable accommodation. A fully equipped kitchen, which means you have a washer and a dryer. Doing dishes and laundry seem a little off with the whole vacation picture, but trust me it’s so much better than tacky paper plates which make a greater mess than you think. Best of all, there are no thinking on money issues; you could spend a small fortune by eating in restaurants three times a day.<br /> <br /> Now that is what I call an awesome vacation! Now moving on from the practicality front, there are so many other reasons for you to be absolutely love-struck, with the gorgeous Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort. The villas are not only expansive; they're done up in old Florida decor. I was torn between the choices of a beach-front or pool-front villa as they were both equally inviting! The resort boasts of a large pool complex and rated as one of the best resort pools in Florida by The Orlando Sentinel. Labeled as "heated and huge”, it includes two huge water areas, where you can enjoy a thrilling game of water volleyball as it is big enough for a volleyball net to stretch over.<br /> <br /> Biggest attraction being: the overwhelming 248-foot long waterslide for the teens, kids and kids-at-heart. But prepare yourself for more to come – there's also an all-inclusive meandering lazy river, complete with tube aids for better floatation, and even less work on your part. I'm always a fan of the less work, don’t know about other girls. If I have a toss between great mansions and glitz and glam, I would much rather go for a day at the Beach without a moment of hesitation. Let’s not overlook the other big pool, the Atlantic Ocean out there!<br /> <br /> On Ron Jon Cape Caribe's private beach offers many attractive features for you and the family. You can enjoy swimming, kayaking or simply laying on those pearly sands, building sand castles. The resort takes on a whole 28 acres, and a good lump of that acreage is mainly sprawled out green space, leaving you a stunning view of a fusion of earthy green against the gleaming white sandy beaches. The spectacular landscape is an added enhancement to the lovely resort. A warm sunny afternoon whiling away in the golden haze, with never ending opportunities at Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort is my idea of fun!

A little heads up, before you start to exchange your summer sandals for those fall gumboots, think of a self-pampering spree and pack your b...

Travel tips for better holidays!

Travelling is both an enjoyable yet hectic experience if you are about to embark on a long-hour journey. It’s always essential to take utmost care of your health though many additional concerns should be kept in mind before travelling anywhere!<br /> <br /> If you are planning a family vacation or a weekend retreat with friends, it's easy to fall prey to climatic changes and time zone differences which adversely affect your health. Being in an entirely new place is always a gamble upon one’s health, depending on individualistic caliber and immune system. The idea is that you have to adjust to the food, water, and air in a new environment, which can be a challenging scenario, as traveling can expose you to places that your body isn’t accustomed to.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_6ZE5MROgad5TPq2ZHibpdhqhcYrqPVWf8Addi0qxDvm9jA0l8gDj_kUHKB_8kly9uj-caKhqIDVeySW7ytTewDadz6cktKmI8whmLhYCntt4Gan3dBhMbldoWCIGmCpinSAST0WYyFJ/s1600/travel-tips-for-perfect-holidays.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_6ZE5MROgad5TPq2ZHibpdhqhcYrqPVWf8Addi0qxDvm9jA0l8gDj_kUHKB_8kly9uj-caKhqIDVeySW7ytTewDadz6cktKmI8whmLhYCntt4Gan3dBhMbldoWCIGmCpinSAST0WYyFJ/s320/travel-tips-for-perfect-holidays.png" width="320" /></a>Travelling has both its upsides and downsides. To ensure that you make the most of your vacations let’s highlight significant details, that should not be overlooked. The first and foremost requirement for heading overseas, for instance, is to find out what types of vaccinations are needed in advance, because different countries have different requirements. In the United States, it is recommendable to contact your doctor/physician or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to checklist mandatory vaccinations.<br /> <br /> Vaccines that require more than one dose should take more time than usual, and so you should have enough time allotment for that as well. Three most common Travel Dilemmas are jet lag, heightened sensitivity to altitudes and diarrhea. Travelling across time zone can change your internal clock system completely. This can be tedious and insomnia inducing. However, this affect can be undermined by taking an immediate brisk walk soon after you reach your destination!<br /> <br /> The best solution for altitude sickness is to gradually upsurge your altitude on a daily basis to get used to it. Otherwise, a drug called acetazolamide can help relieve and even avert the symptoms of altitude sickness. Also, safe eating and drinking should be a top priority. The question is, what foods are safe to eat? Boiled edibles are generally safe and even fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Uncooked or under cooked meat should be avoided just to be on the safe side.

Travelling is both an enjoyable yet hectic experience if you are about to embark on a long-hour journey. It’s always essential to take utmos...
