It's Jody's last full day here. We went to dim sum this morning at a restaurant that we hadn't tried yet-China Yuan. It was pretty good. It's located in the same plaza where the Chinese bakery is, so I had to leave some room for an egg tart. After we ate we headed to the bakery to discover that it's closed Monday's, wah, wah. From there we went to Tampa Premium Outlets. I bought some runners that I had seen in Orlando and a couple of other little items. We found ...

There are 2 markets that happen here. The Pierce Street Market is every second Saturday and the Market in St. Petersburg is every Saturday. We went to both of them.

We had a cachapas which is a type of bread made from corn and filled with fresh white homemade cheese. They serve it with some sour cream. It...

This morning Dave dragged Jody and I kicking and screaming to Krispy Kreme for breakfast. Once you're there, you might as well roll with it. After our sugar overdose, we went to Epcot Center for another day of fun. We played a few games in the Future Innovations pavilion. Of course we had to wait behind a family of 6 who had to all play at least once. We made our way through all the pavilions, watching a short movie about China and also watching some acrobats the...
