Not Living the Life of Reilly in Tampa

This past Thursday we left for an overdue trip to visit my Dad and Carol in Valrico, FL, just outside of Tampa. Reilly had a serious stomach virus Wednesday but by Thursday seemed to be over it so we decided to go for it. Unfortunately I came down with the stomach virus that night, missed most of Friday and Reilly got stung by a couple of bees. It was very nice to visit Dad and Carol and I only wish we could have stayed longer. I especially liked our drive back from dinner Saturday night, let's just say we saw some of Tampa's more colorful residents leaving some sort of pirate parade called the Gasparilla.
