Been a while since the Frugal's posted, we have been busy with vacation plans and summer.
A lot has been said about taking a staycation during these economical times. We decided to take part in an event that will no longer be around after 2010. We attended a shuttle launch a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the shuttled did not take off like the picture due to a hydrogen leak, however it still was a great vacation at a bargain price.
We stayed at the Jetty Park campground which is adjacent to Port Canaveral. Here is a link for the details:
A very reasonable and clean/open campground.
Set up was easy at the campground, there is a nearby grocery store for supplies. Fishing on the pier is a 24 hour event. Manatee sightings along with sea turtle sightings made the trip a nature outing as well.
Outside of gas to bring the camper over there, this was easily a <$200 weekend with food and extra's. Check out the world famous Ron Jon surfshop....it's an experience.
Well the shuttle is now supposed to go July 11th. We won't be there this time, but there will be the opportunity for a few more launches to go see and feel the thunder. After that, we will welcome the Constellation series of NASA.
We had a great time, weathered an incredible intense thunderstorm and even stayed dry. More to come on our real vacation!
Just heard about some soap solution you can use to combat mosquito's and using peanut butter to get dried gum out of clothes
