We arrived at our hotel in St. Pete just before a HUGE storm let go. It poured rain, the lightening flashed, and the wind was blowing so hard that there were roofs that were blown off. There was even a tornado that touched down close to where we were. It was fun to see but a little scary!
We drove up the coast to Clearwater and visited all the little towns along the way. We stopped in Maderia Beach and had lunch on the bay and watched the dolphins play in the water. What fun!!
We decided to stay a few extra days in Tampa because they were having the Gasparilla parade on Saturday. They have an invasion in the morning where the pirates sail into the bay and take over the city and then in the afternoon they have a parade and the pirates throw beads to all the people along the parade route. It was a lot of fun but a little wild!! The parade was almost 2 hours long and we got TONS of beads!! What fun!!
