It’s Saturday! We left Orlando yesterday and set out for Tampa. In what should have been an hour and a half drive took roughly 3 hours thanks to a crapload of traffic and construction. The weather was beautiful so instead of stopping at our hotel in Tampa, we decided to continue through and check out St. Pete’s Beach or Treasure Island Beach. We ended up out at Treasure Island Beach and spent the afternoon soaking up some sun. After the on-and-off rain in Orlando, warm temperatures and plenty of sun was exactly what we needed.
We ended the day with dinner outside at Snappers in St. Pete’s Beach. Very tasty, it was a good day.

Cripes!
It’s Sunday! We left Tampa yesterday and traveled down to Punta Gorda, our old stomping ground. We haven’t been to Punta in two years and aside from some new construction across the river, everything looks pretty much the same—and that’s a good thing. We spent the afternoon at Laishley’s Crab House, a favorite of ours, enjoying some seafood nachos, calamari, and Yuengling. It was a very good afternoon.
I heard about the waterspout that came ashore at Fort Myers Beach, just a few miles south of here. The video is pretty wild, check it out above if you haven’t seen it yet.
