Brief Synopsis

Here is a brief run down of the trip thus far:

Tampa:
-Smells like St. John's Harbour
-Rays games was fun. Rays won. Bought a jersey and got a free autographed baseball when I did. The stadium was amazing, had so much to do in it, could definitely spend a day in there.
-Football game was ridiculously hot - probably reached over 120F in there, Kara got all woozy with the heat. It was a great experience though. Kara and Burns played beer pong with some real rednecks, Burns ended up getting loaded because well they lost. But they played with weird rules which involved them leaning over the tables and stuff.

Orlando:
-We ate at IHOP 3 times in Orlando...all for breakfast, so if I don't see an IHOP again for a while then that will be fine with me. When we were there once there was a chick who would not shut up, yammering on and on all morning...she belonged on Maury Pauvich. I will leave it at that. One other time right next to us some chick was crying. She was either getting dumped by her boyfriend who was with her or he was her pump and was demoting her from Top Bitch, either way the crying really ruined my meal. I was pissed.

-Went to Universal. Never had the balls to get on any real roller coasters, but got on 3 simulators including the Harry Potter one which was super intense and had about a 3 km line to get into it. Worth the line though, and we got a picture of it.

-Disney. After shopping in the morning we went to Disney. We were there for about 20 minutes when the skies just opened up with rain and thunder and lighting which shut down all the outside rides. Did a few of the inside ones, but I had done those last year so it was kind of lackluster. My shoes are still trying to dry from Kara splashing everyone in the puddles. Good times though.

-Gatorland. Wasn't expecting a whole lot from this, but it was great. Got to sit on a gator and feed a bunch of huge ones up close inside the fence. That was kind of unsettling, but I'm still alive and with all my limbs so it's all good.

Miami:

-Arrived today, did some beach hanging, and tomorrow is jet skiing and scuba diving. Should be fun.

Restaurants:
-TGI Fridays had such a friendly atmosphere and good food. Go if you get the chance.
-Popeyes - good chicken, good biscuit, but not as good as Mary Brown's.
-Olive Garden was brutal. Bad service, bad food.
-Medieval Times was also awesome. It was like watching pro wrestling live. One of the knights even stopped and pointed his sword at me because I was cheering for the other guy, it was awesome!

Well that's a brief summary so far. It's been a great holiday, with still a lot of good activities to go!
