Trip to New York City - April 2012

We traveled by bus to New York City in late April 2012 for an overnight stay. We were able to see lots of sights and enjoyed walking around the city.

Trip to Tampa - February 2012

 We had a great trip to Tampa, Florida during February 2012. We stayed in Dunedin, about 30 minutes from downtown Tampa. Dunedin has a small downtown with lots of shops and restaurants and a great walking trail that goes right by the hotel we stayed in. We visited the University of Tampa, downtown Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Honeymoon Island Beach, Clearwater Beach, Clearwater Marine Aquarium (where the movie Dolphin Tale was filmed), Treasure Island, and a Toronto Blue Jays spring training game. See photos below.
