Getaway to Tampa

 At the end of March, we were fortunate enough to have Carrie's Mom agree to keep the kids while we got away for a few days. 

I loved all the huge live oak trees.


 We took in several Tampa eateries while we were there - Wright's Sandwich Shop, Mel's Hot Dogs and Bern's Steakhouse (just for dessert!) :)
Mel himself even came to our booth to visit for awhile and signed a shirt for Spencer's dad.  
 Do you think Spence would make a good worker at Mel's? :)

 We went to the Dog Races in St. Petersburg
 After betting on three races, we quit while we were ahead! :)
 This is the lovely guest house that we stayed in thanks to dear family friends.  And below is the home of our hosts.  There was a lovely courtyard that separated the main house from the guest house and the front yard was right on the bayshore. 
A lovely retreat from the daily routine!
