Two more days in FLA :(

It was our second last day in Florida and it was once again interesting. We decided to stay away from the parks and get ready for the hockey game in Tampa. We started by going to Downtown Disney for a walk and lunch. We tried to get a walk up appointment at the Bipity Bipitee Boutique for the boys to get made up like princesses, but it was too busy to get in. Perhaps the Petrie girls were there ahead of us.
We walked over to Planet Hollywood for an overpriced lunch and with our $15 coupon, it came close to being what it should have been. There was some neat memorabilia there though, including Dorothy's dress from the Wizard of Oz and the Clampett's Jalopy from the Beverly Hillbillies. If the Freestyle breaks down, maybe we could use that with Angie Sitting in the chair on the back.

We then headed to Tampa for the hockey game. Since we had lots of time, we headed over to Madiera Beach, where Angie had stayed a few times with the Coles and we had been once before. We walked by Sea View condo and then did some beachcombing. The boys each got a few treasures and Angie decided this is where we would retire to if we win the lottery.

After a delicious $8.89 dinner at Costco (for all 4 of us), we headed over to the Lightning arena. We were pleased to find our tickets at Will Call and even more pleased to find them situated in the Club Level right at center ice. The arena is beautiful and underscores the difficulty Winnipeg will have to try and bring the NHL back. It was a great game with the Lightning holding on for a 3-2 win. Crosby, St Louis and Lecavelier all looked great. It would be a pleasure to be able to watch that Tampa team every night.

We are looking at a full day at the parks tomorrow, and I'm taking the afternoon off for one more game of golf with Nick. I am planning to meet the family later back at the parks.

Gus's Best: Hockey game
Gus's Worst: Headache at the game.

Jack's Best and Worst unavailable at this time. (sound asleep)

Here is a nice picture of Sidney making a move in the Tampa end.
