Pretty slow on here right now, so figured I would share a couple pics from a trip to Florida last week. Headed down to Ormond Beach to see the inlaws at their winter home there, and me and the boy decided to sneak out for a gator and hog hunt. Was a blast, saw and shot a pile of hogs, and the highlight for my son was that he got to smack a couple with a revolver which made his day. That place really is overran with them.....we saw pigs everywhere we went throughout the trip. We kept a couple for meat, and one for a euro for my son as this was his first hog hunting experience in the US. We both got decent gators as well (kids was missing a foot which was neat), and enjoyed cooking it a different way every evening. The gators were hunted spot and stalk catching them up on the banks sunning themselves.
Didnt get out fishing, as the day we had a boat booked there were wave warnings, so couldnt get out of the harbor. On a non hunting note though, we did go to the Kennedy Space Center and I have to say that is likely one of the most awesome places I have ever been. And the timing couldnt have been better, as the SpaceX Crew 8 launch was scheduled to send 4 astronauts to the ISS. We bought launch tickets, and while the first attempt last Saturday was scrubbed, we went back again on Sunday and saw our first rocket launch. Worth every penny and making the drive a couple times, actually was the highlight of the entire trip for me.....everything about the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral was too cool, could spend days there and not get bored lol.
Anyway, sure was timed well, missed the majority of the cold snap here....already looking forward to heading back next year.
This is a picture of the rocket launch.....it launched at 10:53PM, looks like a rising sun, but thats just the rocket and it lighting up the pitch black sky. Truly, if your ever down that way and have the opportunity to view a luanch, cant recommend it enough lol.
