On Thursday, we got up early and rented a car then drove to Indian Rocks Beach outside of Tampa. It wasn’t very crowded and the beach was really pretty. We rented some chairs and umbrella and hung out all morning… Spencer took to the beach like he was born to be there. He dug in the sand and dumped shells in his bucket and kept playing in the waves. He also found the seagulls very loud and offensive and kept yelling at them at the top of his lungs.
We ate lunch at an adorable little family owned restaurant next to the beach and it was delicious. We headed back to the beach after that for another hour or so of fun in the sun. Shortly before we left, a seagull pooped on me and Spencer ran out to Jordan in the waves yelling “Mom got poop on her!” 🤣😷
We drove back to the hotel and Spencer and I both took naps in the car. Jordan took one when we got to the hotel so I took Spenny down to the food court for some ice cream and then we looked around the gift shop. There was another boy in a stroller and Spencer said “HI I’m Spencer, I’m two.” ❤️
We went to a minor league baseball game in the evening – the Florida Fire Frogs. There weren’t a ton of people there so we got to sit wherever we wanted. It was beautiful warm weather and fun to be at a new (to us) stadium. Spencer was beyond ready for bed by the time we left – all things considered though, he was an amazing traveler and adjusted well to our busy schedule all week.
