Who knew Tampa was more than just Busch Gardens?

And that we'd get lost......

So Nick and I went to Busch Gardens after weeks of trying to plan a trip out there.. After being rained out of the park we decided it would be a good idea to try and find downtown Tampa... In the process of that we kinda ended up at an Air Force base, oops.... And then some random little pier/park thing, Ballast Point.

Yup

Ballast Point Park, thrilling.

 I'm sure......

Hey look, a pier. It seemed like a good idea to walk down to its end, during a thunder storm...

So a-walking we went.

And what did we find along the way??? well...

Fishing poles...

A bucket with blue crabs in it?

And some fish that got cut the fish up

"It's hauntingly beautiful"

d'oh! Its not even the Gulf :( just Hillsborough/Tampa Bay
(maybe next time....)
And with the storms rolling back in.. and me not wanting to get my camera anymore wet than it already was... we ran back to Nicks car. yay
Oh yeah, and Tampa is like.. a real city..

See?
