Tampa


I have to start this post by saying thank you to the Simons for sharing their camera with us during this trip. We weren't thinking and didn't take ours.

In August Jason and I and our good friends, the Simons, went on a trip to Tampa, Florida. Let's just say it was a ton of fun! I've never been to a beach before where after a few hours the water is a little bit too warm and you have to get out. I was very sunburned for a few weeks after that day at the beach, but it was well worth it.

While in Tampa we went to Bush Gardens. The first day started out very eventfully. On our train ride over to enter the park, it started to sprinkle and within about 10 seconds it was a downpour. We had no choice but to get off the train and run in the rain for some sort of shelter. Once we realized we were as soaked as we could be, we decided to just enjoy being drenched and walk in the rain. The rides were great. But by the 2nd day of rides, the men wimped out and the ladies had to go on the rides by ourselves. They were content to sit or stand in the baking sun, while we went and had fun on more rides.


Of course while in Tampa we had to go to a baseball game. Check one more stadium off of Chad and Jason's list.



On one of the days we went on a boating trip to see dolphins, it was so much fun watching dolphins play in the boats wake.




Thanks to both grandmas and Jessica for taking care of the kids for us. We really appreciate it!

Just for the record, I didn't wimp out, my body did. Next time we go to an amusement park I am going to ride everything, then you will get to see what I had for breakfast that morning.
