We did a final load of laundry this morning, shipped some things home and drove over to Tampa to meet Eileen, her friends Linda and Karen, and Eileen's daughter Ali, her husband Dan and their two children, Kessler and Delancy. Also there was Eileen's other daughter Ang and her friend "Z", a hockey buddy from Ocean City.
They drove over from Orlando where they are staying to get together with us for a pre-game dinner and the Yankees - Phillies game at George Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees' spring training park in Tampa. They are staying in Tampa until Wednesday to visit the Aquarium there before heading back to Orlando,where they will stay until Saturday.
We met everyone at the hotel where they were staying near the ball park then had dinner at Leroy Selmon's Restaurant nearby. The restaurant has a southern BBQ and comfort food emphasis along with a sports bar motif highlighting the career of Leroy Selmon, a famous Tampa Bay Bucaneer football player.
We got to the park just before the game started. The park is nice but not as nice as Bright House Field, where the Phillies play. The weather was "brisk" - clear, but temperature in the 50's at game time with a fair amount of wind. We were mostly sheltered from the wind but it was still cool.
The game was a good one for the Phillies - they beat the Yankees 6-0. Eileen and Linda are Yankees fans but their kids are big Phillies fans. After a long ride back to the condo we finally got to bed after midnight. It was a busy day but it was great to see Eileen and her family and to watch the Phillies win for a change.
