With all the theme parks and attractions, it’s virtually impossible to run out of things to do in Orlando.  Yet, there’s plenty to do just a short drive from Orlando, as well.  Florida’s fabulous beaches are less than an hour away.  So if you’re looking for a great escape from the theme parks pack your sunscreen and head for Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, or any of the other convenient Atlantic coast beaches.  Or, for those more interested in rocket science, Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center offer a full day of fun for space enthusiasts.  Check the NASA launch schedule and who knows, you may even be able to witness a rocket or space shuttle launch in person.  Of course, on a clear day, chances are you can see a launch rising into the sky even from Orlando.
