Day 3 in St. Petersburg

We've spent the last couple of days scoping out the area here. Yesterday and today were very warm. Yesterday was bright and sunny and actually quite humid. We went downtown to the Pier, which has an aquarium (which we didn't visit) but we did walk around the pier and enjoy the view. Along the water were several parks which we walked around and did some people watching. It was almost too hot to be laying on the beach, but we did come back to the hotel and do a little sunning at the pool. Today the wicked weather has moved in, and we're supposed to have some severe thunderstorms, and wind tonight and tomorrow. We drove over to Tampa and went to see the stadium where the Yankees are spring training. We thought about getting tickets to see a game, but the only game that fit in our schedule was Sunday and it was against Baltimore and neither of us have any ties to either of those teams. I called Dunedin Stadium (just north of Clearwater, about a 30 minute drive from here) and got tickets for Sunday's game Toronto Blue Jays and the Atlanta Braves. Baseball fever is in full bloom here, let me tell you. I'm kind of excited to see a pre-season game. Smaller crowd, and hopefully some real baseball. Now we're going to do our homework and make sure we know who's who!
