Tampa Bay Getaway: Day 1

Trying to squeeze in a mini vacay, with the kids crazy school & athletic schedules proved to be challenging. But, not nearly as difficult as where to go & what to do...we debated cities and originally had our eye on Columbia, SC. [The lovins keep asking to go back to the Children's Museum] But, we wanted some place alittle more exciting...Unfortunately, we are burnt out on ATL & Orlando...so that really didn't leave us a whole lot of options! Then we realised that Tampa is a mere 5 hours away, has lots of Pro sports teams, gorgeous beaches & BUSCH GARDENS! :] We were secretly hoping the Lighting had made the playoffs...but no such luck! So we set our sights on a Rays game, which leads us to our first night in Tampa...
[Hitching a ride on the pedi-cab!]
And our 1st MLB game in a dome!!! Such a different experience... Cotton candy is the same though...LOL Our favorite past time...EATING!
.Nacho's.
The game started off with Toronto scoring 4 runs in the 1st inning!
[Not good]
But, Tampa answered back with a couple homers and finished the game 5-6 Toronto!
It was a pretty exciting game...all the lovins go into it!!!
Lambie, forcing me to clap...
.Daddy & Ry Guy.
.Friday Night Fireworks.
Not so exciting in a dome! :/
However, they still managed to scare Lambie!
Settling down @ the hotel. HA! Ya right...the kids were SO stoked cause they had their own room!
Mental note: 2 bedroom Suites...MORE than worth the $$!
We did manage to get them into bed, with the promise of some place 'special' in the morning!Those pics to come...stay tuned!
