Our vacation continued...

The rest of our vacation was just as good as the first part.. The boys attended a baseball game while the girls did some shopping. Afterwards everyone went to the Hard Rock to do a little gambling and have dinner.

After a little time at the home front we headed to Tampa. We set off on Monday and stopped at Billie Swamp Safari.

The air boat ride was good but our best alligator sighting was on the trail.
Another few hours and we were in Ft. Meyers, stopping for lunch at Hooters and then taking a dip in the Gulf of Mexico.Since some of us were burnt from our previous beach excursion we only stayed an hour which was more than enough time. Once in Tampa we checked into the hotel and jumped into the pool right away. If you have ever seen Jerry Springer then you will understand that a filming of the show could have been shot around the pool area.. Let's just say 2 hair weaves came flying off in the ordeal. We wandered into Ybor City for a little drinking and dinner. The Greek restaurant we found was fabulous!! The two for one Martinis were strong so I slept well that night. We spent all day in Busch Gardens and had a blast.. Several roller coaster rides and lots of free beer had everyone feeling great. It was an early night because we had to get up early to swim with the Manatees. The water ended up being murky but the girls had a great time playing with the manatees. The journey home was a long one but we ended our last supper at the Indian buffet. I just want to say thank you Steve, Michelle, Elan and Marielle for a great vacation. I hope to see everyone soon. Before I go I have to post my favorite Michelle picture... Fabulous shoes!!
