We had an awesome weekend. Today, we spent the day with Brett, Sherilyn, Baylee, Tiffany, Brennan, and Duane. We were supposed to go to the Zoo but $5 day is way too busy, so we ended up at the Florida Aquarium.
We had a great time, the kids explored and ran all over the place oohing and aahing over the fish.
After the aquarium, Tiff and Duane headed out on their own and Brett, Sherilyn and Baylee hung out with us.
Ashley has been wanting to ride the Tampa Streetcar for some time now. She yells "trolley!" evertime she see it. Once Baylee saw it today, we knew we had to take them. The kids rode for free and it cost the adults $5 each for an all day pass. Well worth it since it's a great way to get around downtown Tampa and Ybor city and the kids loved it.
The weather was beautiful. I guess January is one of those times you're glad you live in Florida! We took the trolley from Channelside down into Ybor City and got off at the Centro Ybor stop. By then we were all hungry, so we walked a block down to MeMa's Alaskan Tacos for some yummy, one of a kind tacos. I love their refried black beans and Alaskan Chicken tacos! Everything there is so fresh and tasty!
After a quick bite, we hopped the streetcar back to downtown and got off at the Dick Greco station to grab some Starbucks. It's such a lovely area of downtown Tampa. The kids got out some energy and played around in the landscaping while we sipped on our chai.
We hopped back on the streetcar to go back to the parking garage where we said goodbye to Brett, Sherilyn and Baylee before heading to the airport to let Ashley see the planes.
We went to the top of the parking garage right beside the runway where we watched planes landing and taking off to Ashley's amazement!
I think everyone had a great time and I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day with some of my family. I only wish Alana and Chuck could have come with us and brought Scott and Petyon. Maybe next time.
