March 18th To Bradenton

Long day today-  first, I went to Brandon Florida, and caught three markers, then stopped in at Macaroni Grill and had a nice lunch with my old High School Pal. Sandi Sutphin Gain.  We had a great catch up session.  

Then, on down to the Bradenton Metro area, did a state park, got a stamp, and two pins, then over to De Soto National Monument for a stamp and a park pin, which was new, then several stops for markers in Bradenton, then over to McKechnie Field for a game with the Pirates and the Tigers.  

Saw lots of plates today: added Nebraska for the 50 state count plus 8 new ones:

This was Johnson County- Iowa issues these plates by county.  

I'll post specifics later, its 1130 pm!
