We're Back!

I'm a little tired from our 25 hour road trip home from Florida (stopping only for fuel and girl's room breaks), so I'll post some pics with short comments for now so I can get back to napping. We had a great time!

Click on any of the pictures to make them bigger.

Stopping for a drink

I caught a fish! He was feisty! The fisherman too!

A big Cypress bass or something

Back at Camp Mack

Ybor City - Florida's Latin Quarter

Our gracious host for a day showed us around St. Pete and Ybor City, part of Tampa, which was once the cigar capital of the world.

Billy took me to the Columbia in Ybor for lunch, which just celebrated its 100th year in business

Can't say no to an authentic Cuban mojito!



After our meal, Billy enjoyed a tacita of cafe Cubano for more energy

Ybor City has a Scientology Center. We crossed the street here!

Dolphin Cove at Sea World

Patiently waiting for fish

Like smooth rubber, but nicer

Hungry little...

Looked like a big rock to me, but it's a manatee
Big ol' Shamu
Getting some exercise
Me with some flamingos

Killers...
Or Lovers?
Get a room!

Remembering to blog it all - notice the trucks with boat trailers - there were a ton of them!

Big bird

I thought I was stealing an orange, but it was a sour grapefruit. Instant karma for petty theft!

Sneaking off to the mall!

Billy and I had a great time together and we didn't try to kill each other after almost 8 days of nearly non-stop togetherness - travelling 1,400 miles each way and another couple hundred miles travelling to each attraction. After being home almost a day, I even miss him a little!
