At least there isn’t a foot of snow to shovel every morning just to get out the front door and into the car
My wife and I had the money to buy a second home in Cocoa, Florida a few years ago, but until recently we could only use it for vacations. I was running a business in Michigan and couldn’t move states until I sold it. My wife was working in an orchestra in Ann Arbor, but recently retired. With nothing holding us back, we started to consider moving to our vacation home in Cocoa, Florida. It’s so close to Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach, two places that enthrall us both. My wife likes to catch rays of sun on Cocoa Beach in the summer, whereas I like to go kayaking in the Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary on Merritt Island. There is no shortage of beautiful sights to see while living in Cocoa, Florida. We’re sick of freezing temperatures and paying exorbitant amounts of money to heat our house to stay warm in the cold winter weather. And as we get older, it becomes increasingly harder to tolerate the cold temperatures as it drops below zero degrees in January and February every year. Cocoa is usually a lot warmer than this, although this year has been particularly cold for the entirety of Florida. I have family in Venice and friends in Miami—all of them reported abnormally cold temperatures thus far this spring. I used to go fishing on the St. Johns River in March every year but I think it’s going to be too cold for my sensitive skin. At least there isn’t a foot of snow to shovel every morning just to get out the front door and into the car. Living in Cocoa sure beats freezing up north in the cold winter weather.
