Remember that time I won a free vacation to Tampa, Florida all because of Twitter?!   Well…today’s the day!  We’ve packed up the car and are hitting the road to sunny Tampa for a few days!  I’ve never really spent much time in Tampa, so I’m excited to explore and have some great family time too!

I’ve heard fantastic things about the Florida Aquarium, so we will definitely be going there.  Maggie has been very interested in fish lately, so I know she will have fun looking for Nemo, Dorie and Dorothy (from Elmo’s World).   My friends in Tampa have told us there is also a water/splash park at the aquarium, so I’m sure we’ll spend time there too!

The sports lover in me is also excited to go a Major League Baseball game too!  The Rays play the Texas Rangers tomorrow afternoon – I can’t wait to have some ballpark food and watch a good game.  Both of our girls have been to a minor league baseball game before, but this will be their first major league game.  Fun!

We’ve got quite a few friends that live in the Tampa area….some that have never met our girls!  I’m very excited for them to meet my silly babies!  I’ll be sure and take lots of pictures to update you on our journey.  It should be a pretty fun trip!

Have you ever visited Tampa?  Or maybe you live there?!   What are some must-see things to see and do in the area?  And most importantly, where should we eat?!
