Made it to Tampa! Day 1

Dad and I left at 8:30am this morning for Florida. We were headed to Clearwater for Phillies spring training. We set out with no goal destination in mind since we didn't have anything to do today besides get there. We thought we could maybe get an extra night in our hotel but they were booked. Still undecided on a distance we stopped about 45 mins south of ATL for lunch, chick fil a! We thought maybe we could split it up and stop half way but decided to go for it. Dad got us the last room in Hoilday Inn Express in Tampa. About 150 miles outside of Tampa it finally stopped raining! We arrive here around 7:30pm. Now we look for food and chill. Our goal is to make the Phils game at 1:05pm tomorrow in Clearwater. Pick up some tickets on the street but we'll see what tomorrow will bring. Fingers crossed for sunny skies, cheap tickets, good seats and cold beer!

Edit:

Had dinner a Bahama Breeze next door and it was awesome. Had a great cheeseburger with applewood bacon along with an Aruba red, their house beer.

Also realized after dinner the newspaper was wrong, no Phils game tomorrow.
