New Orleans/FL Trip (Day 38) - Tampa, FL

After a long day and short night yesterday, Judy awoke feeling pretty bad with her sinuses hurting. So after a trip to the same nearby urgent care center, she got an allergy shot and a prescription for an antibiotic (Z-Pack). She was feeling tired, so she decided to skip the baseball game today and rest-up instead.

Pat was feeling a little better and left for the 1:00 pm Phillies – Toronto Blue Jays spring training baseball game at the Blue Jays stadium in nearby Dunedin, FL., stopping along the way at the Phillies spring training stadium (Brighthouse Field) in Clearwater. There was a B-squad game in progress when I was there and minor leaguers and rookies were practicing while the major league team travelled to play the Blue Jays. The Phillies spring training complex is fairly new and is a first class facility.









The Blue Jays stadium is small, fairly old and doesn’t have very much parking. I had to pay $8.00 to park in some guy’s front yard. The field has a homey, minor league feel about it and the mostly Phillies fans in the stadium had a good time watching the Phillies beat the Blue Jays 4-2 under warm and sunny skies.









Judy was feeling better after I returned from the game. We had leftovers for dinner and went to bed early to rest-up for the next phase of the trip.
