NASA has a shuttle launch (STS-131) scheduled for the early morning of
April 5, so as a space enthusiast I definitely know where *I* would go
:-D. Kennedy Space Center's visitor complex is worth a visit anyway even
without a launch; tickets are good for two consecutive days IIRC. Or
just take a stroll at the atlantic coast after the launch; Cocoa Beach
may be a good place to go.
You may also want to visit one of the many springs scattered all across
Florida to go for a swim; I suggest one where you can also rent a canoe
for a relaxed river trip. Can't name any specific though: Been to two
such places a while ago, but unfortunately forgotten their names by now.
