Tampa Bound....

The hotel where we stayed...it was such a great location...close to the ballpark and the beaches!  We will definitely come back!

The Hotel pool area.  So pretty!

Game 1....entering the Trop!

Us...in a sea of Rays fans!

Inside the dome...watching the Angels take batting practice!  This was our first time at Tropicana Field,but...it won't be our last!

Going up the escalator to our seats.  Ken is securely holding on to our "cuban sandwiches".

Around the batting cage, Albert talks with Victor Rojas and Mark Gubicza

Bobby Wilson, Guby,and Victor watch Pujols hit

The Rays tank 

Still hopeful for an Angels win!

There's hardly anyone here, it's so early

Kenny watching batting practice

Wed...day 2- Before the game we drove to St. Pete's beach and checked out the Gulf and beautiful beaches.  This area really reminded us of the SoCal beaches!  It felt like home.

The sand was really white and pretty!

Ken and me sitting at the Paradise Grille having lunch.

The view behind us

Our view while eating

So excited they have clam strips!  They are my favorite!!!! Takes me back to the Splash Cafe, in Pismo!

YUMMO!

another beautiful beach

Game 2..... back at the Trop!

again...batting practice- Scosh, Guby, Victor, Butch ...all watching

Albert watches Aybar hitting

That's where our seats are!  They were great and cheap!

Ken and I looking forward to game 2 and hopefully a win!

Looking out at the field from the Rays tank

Ken touching the rays, in the tank

One of the rays

The tank was so cool!

 Tropicana Field is known for their signature sandwich- the Cuban....and it was de-lish!

Just me and Joe hanging out! 
 The trip was fun on several  levels...however, the Angels lost both games and are playing so badly...the "baseball part" of the trip was really disappointing! We'll get 'em next time!
