We just got home from a fabulous vacation in Tampa, visiting Mom-Mom SuSu and Pop-Pop Bill. We had great weather every day except for one. We were able to go out on Aunt Joann and Uncle Ron's boat, to a sandbar in the Gulf of Mexico, just outside of the Cotee River near New Port Ritchie. We saw fireworks in Safety Harbor for the 4th. We got a hotel room in St. Pete Beach for 2 nights and found an authentic Maryland Seafood restaurant at the beach! And we swam, swam, swam every day we were there. I think Isabelle averaged 6 hours per day in the water.
The one rainy day we had was Friday, and boy did it downpour! They got 3-5 inches of rain on Friday depending on where you were on the gulf coast. This was the day we had planned to go to Weeki Wachee anyway, so it wasn't so bad. The live mermaid shows of Weeki Wachee are indoors. They have a huge park there, most of which was closed due to the weather, but we enjoyed 3 shows in the indoor theatre and Isabelle was in heaven.
One of the current shows is "The Little Mermaid" which was really great, even if their Ariel didn't have red hair (of course Iz picked up on that immediately). Weeki Wachee is the only live mermaid shows in the country, so if you're ever in the Tampa area, check them out, it's pretty wild!
