Day 2 (AKA Finally some Disney fun!)

So, we got up Sunday morning, packed our suitcases, enjoyed our free breakfast at the hotel and headed to the ballpark. (Sidenote - The SpringHill Suites St Petersburg Clearwater was very nice. It was super clean, the employees were friendly and helpful, the room was big, it was easy to find and the free breakfast was great. And it was only $113/night! I would totally recommend it.)

We got to the ballpark early (around 11:30 for a 1:40 start) but we had heard nightmares about the parking situation there so we wanted to be sure we got a spot. It was so bizarre to go to a baseball game and see people tailgating! Once in the park, we decided to check out the Stingray tank which was cool (I will try to add a picture later). It is free and you go in and they let you feed and pet the stingrays. We sort of meandered around the other parts of the park that we hadn't visited yet and finally settled into our seats to watch the Red Sox lose AGAIN. Oh well.

Here's a shot of me at the stingray tank!
