My family used to do a road trip every year to Tampa, but my fantastic friend and I live in Jacksonville, Florida so the drive was around three hours, however it was nice seeing a odd city.
My fantastic friend and I would stay at a swanky hotel, eat some fantastic food, as well as see a professional hockey game.
My fantastic friend and I did it every year for Christmas. It was pretty fun since my buddy and I all were hockey fans, but then everyone got married as well as had kids. Suddenly driving three hours to Tampa to see a game is not possible. I kind of thought our afternoons in Tampa were over. Then my brother started researching as well as found that Tampa offers all sorts of kid friendly attractions. There are Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, as well as Adventure Island. Suddenly the trip to Tampa for Christmas was happening again. The hotel my buddy and I stay in is kid friendly. There is a pool, tons of other kids, as well as it is a mess. My fantastic friend and I don’t eat at fantastic steakhouses or get drunk anymore. It is all local food that is cheap, simple, as well as hopefully healthy, however no more hockey games but amusement as well as water parks, but animals, fish, as well as parks are all great. It is a lot of work as well as effort to make Tampa happen every year. I still prefer the trip. Instead of coming cabin relaxed I do come cabin feeling like I need a trip. I am cheerful that the kids prefer our Florida road trip every year though. It makes the holidays a little more special. Tampa offers quite a bit for a diverse crowd.
