Spring Training Trip - Day 23


We’re here.  We arrived at the Bay Bayou RV Resort in Oldsmar, FL about 3:00 pm after a 6 hour drive from St. George Island along the coast of the Florida Panhandle then south to the Tampa Bay area where we will be staying.  We stayed here before on our Florida trip in 2009.  The park is very nice and, like most parks down here, caters to “snowbirds”.

Our plan for the next few days is to settle-in and not do any particular sightseeing or anything of extraordinary importance.  We will probably go over to McDill AFB ( 30 minute drive) for supplies, check out the local Costco and Camping World and maybe take line dancing lessons at the RV park.  The first Phillies Spring Training game is Wednesday against Florida State, a pretty good college baseball team.  The game is essentially a scrimmage with a lot of Phillies rookies playing.  The first “official” spring training game is against the Yankees on March 3rd.

We have driven a lot of miles and have seen a lot of things on the way here.  It has been a fun trip so far and the plan now is to kick-back and enjoy some spring training baseball.

We will keep updating the blog and posting pictures as the adventure continues.
