Florida State's stadium
|
|
Older-style Florida highway sign
|
Really big county road signs
|
The weirdest font I've ever seen on a shield. This was my first time on US 98.
|
Day 7 starts with more road-tripping for Tampa Bay's interstates.
|
|
|
Sunshine Skyway
|
|
|
Last southbound US 301 shield
|
This intersection on US 41 marks my southernmost point ever visited on the globe.
|
|
Back to the west beginning of I-4
|
Made it to the once-a-day tour of Raymond James Stadium without a minute to spare.
|
The Super Bowl was here four months ago.
|
Home locker room of not only the Bucs, but the University of South Florida. The Broncos' visitors' locker room was bigger.
|
|
|
During games, the pirate ship is off-limits to the riffraff regular fans. You get to see it in the tour though.

|
"The Pier" at St. Pete. I wanted a bay tour that guaranteed dolphin sightings, but there weren't enough people at ANY time
during the day. And this was the beginning of June!
|
So, with an evening to kill, I took in a Rays game. Tropicana Field serves Pepsi products (!!) but as Pepsi owns Tropicana
it's a foregone conclusion.
|
A grand slam against the hapless Kansas City Royals. If I just wanted to see the Royals lose I could've stayed in KC. :-P
|
This was only my second pro game, the first being a Cubs game in 1992.
|
The baseball game was the last event of the vacation. I flew back early the next morning. Overall, with the lack of crowds and
mostly good weather, it was a great trip.
