It was a busy day today. We met my sister Eileen and her friend Linda for breakfast at Lenny's. It was another great breakfast after a long wait - mostly Phillies fans going to the game today.
Eileen and Linda were going to visit a friend in Largo, just south of Clearwater. They are staying over at their hotel and going to another Yankees game tomorrow then returning to Crystal River.
We went to the game against Pittsburgh. It was a close game but the Phillies lost 5-4. It was still breezy with the temperature around 69 degrees with a 5-10 mph wind - still cool but a little better than yesterday.
The stadium sound system malfunctioned during the National Anthem so the crowd sang along while the singer continued to sing into the mic that wasn't working. Local resident Hulk Hogan was also at the game talking to the players, mingling with the crowd and signing autographs.
Tomorrow is forecast to be warmer with the temperature in the 70's and a light SSE wind.
After the game we drove over to the town of Safety Harbor, a neat little town on the bay. There are having a seafood festival this weekend so we decided to check it out. The festival is in a park on the waterfront and had the usual collection of craft vendors as well as a live band (country) and a lot of food booths serving a variety of seafood prepared different ways. It all looked delicious so we stayed and had dinner there. It was as good as it looked and we may go back for more before the festival closes on Sunday.
On the way back to the car we had ice cream at the Coldstone Creamery, an excellent ice cream shop we visited last year.
More baseball tomorrow against the Tampa Bay Rays.
