Ahoy, Mateys!
I can’t believe it’s already Monday again! The weekends seem to fly by while the work week tends to go super slow. This past Saturday, Sam, Dan, and I hit the road and headed to Tampa to meet up with our friends for Gasparilla! What a day that was. If you live in South Florida or near the Tampa area, I highly suggest you make it to Gasparilla at least once in your life.
We stayed at an Extended Stay so that all of us could stay in one room off of Westshore. While it was about a 20 dollar cab ride for all of us to get to where Gasparilla was, it was well worth it to stay off the “beaten path.” We were in a good location and close to a lot of other restaurants and things. We started off hanging out in the hotel room playing card games and enjoying ourselves before the actual Gasparilla parade. We got down to see the parade around 2pm and it was so crowded! I’m not one for hanging out in a big crowd and having to stand in the hot sun. So, we stayed down there for about half an hour and then it was off to a side street party for the rest of the day. Epic fail.
While we weren’t at the actual Gasparilla festivities for a long time, it was definitely worth going being with friends and just all having a good time together. Even though I wasn’t feeling well towards the end of the night (I had a little too much fun, perhaps?) we headed to the Green Iguana for a night out. The live band was great playing covers of even pop songs! We finished the night there and finally headed back to the hotel. It was a great time, and everyone needs to experience it for once in their life!
