As predicted, it was cool and windy when we got up this morning. Since we didn't have a baseball game today and it wasn't going to be a great day for outside activities, Florida wise, we decided to do some "inside stuff" by going into Tampa and visit the Tampa Bay History Center.
The History Center is located downtown along the waterfront downtown area, connecting the cruise ship terminal, the aquarium, hockey sports arena, the convention center and the many downtown hotels. There is also a Riverwalk stretching along the waterfront for several miles accessing the public and commercial activities in the downtown area.
The History Center is very well done with many attractive displays and AV presentations depicting the history of Florida and the Tampa Bay area. We also had lunch at the Columbia Cafe in the center. This is one of the six Columbia Restaurants in Florida. As it turns out we have had lunch or dinner in four of them so far.
After spending most of the afternoon at the Center, we had a drink and a snack at the outside section of the Columbia Cafe then took a short walk along the Riverwalk before heading back to the RV. Of course, we were right in the middle of Tampa rush hour, which can give the SF Bay area rush hour a "run for its money", or perhaps I should say a "stop and go for its money".
After we got back to the RV it was still cool (the high today was 65 degrees with a 10-15 mph wind) but the winds died down quite a bit. It will be warmer tomorrow as high pressure moves in and it will back into the 80s by Wednesday.
Baseball again tomorrow. We have 5 games left before we head home on March 31st.
