This year we decided to take it easy for Gasparilla and we drove down right before the parade started. We parked at the corner of Morrison and Armenia, loaded the kids up in the wagon, and wandered down to Bayshore and hunted a place to set up. There were some nice people who let the kids down on the fence and they were challenged to get 100 strings of beads and then in return they would be rewarded with light up wands. During the break between the parade and the fireworks we took the kids to Bella’s for dinner. The pasta and salad were delicious. The evening ended with beautiful fireworks and a bunch of very tired kids. It was a great day… 🙂
Mountains! Beach! or Both!...
