A 2 for 5 day- Yikes

I know I know better, but I went ahead anyway and made some stops today before calling, and boy did I hear about it from the co driver. 
First stop: Bright House Field, home of the Phillies spring training, I needed a pin and ball-  Field was open ok, but the gift shop was closed until Jan 12, complete with a sign that said "sorry for any inconvenience."  I was plenty inconvenienced....
Since it was only 5 miles or so away, we headed up to Dunedin to try and catch the Toronto Blue Jays training field, Florida Auto Exchange Stadium-  it too was open, but only for ticket sales, the store was not.  So now I am 0-2.  Co driver is not happy.

Undaunted, we headed over to downtown St Petersburg over the big causeway, and headed for the Armed Forces Museum- and of course, it was closed Monday- locked up actually.  Now I am 0-3. 

Well, I knew Haslan's Book store would be open- trouble is, we both didn't like Haslans last time, and it wasn't any better this time-  their prices were way too high. 

By now, the day was sort of going downhill, I was getting the supreme lecture on bad planning, the dog was about to suffer permanent damage from heat stroke, (it was almost 80 here today), and so forth.  In a gallant move, we headed to the St Petersburg Pier- that would be a triumph we thought. 

NOT-  it is so boring the city is going to tear it down- and no wonder really, it isn't a big tourist draw-  No candle to the Chicago Navy Pier, that's for sure.

We were back to the coach by about 2 and rested up.

At 6, we headed over to go out with Scott and Sheila, and wound up having a super fun meal at Cracker Barrel, which we love anyway.  They are fine and in good spirits, Scott is retiring on March 31st- so he's looking forward to that. 

Today was a repeat of yesterday- I headed to my first stop for the day, the Tampa FireFighters Museum and discovered that I had left without my wallet.  So today's plans were scrapped.  Wound up going to Big Lots where Bette found some storage stuff for her stained glass and some craft stuff. 

Tomorrow at least, I know we are going to the big RV show-  Might go down to Tampa Bay again if the show isn't as big or as interesting as we want.
