my wife and i have had quite a hectic and stressful year so far with the new addition to the family, the move, new jobs, etc, etc. anyway, we needed a getaway, and this was a "treat" that my wife and i cooked up for our birthdays (mine 10/16 and hers 10/8). i scored some smokin' tickets (19th row, near center) to the buffett concert in tampa for last saturday night, then we used some skymiles to get a flight, and rented an awesome little convertible to ride around in.
damn, what an AWESOME weekend!

2007 Saturn SKY : small, but a really cool little car. However, I was crammed in that thing like a sardine in a can! It was still a BLAST to have for a day.
View down one of the roads in St. Pete Beach on our way to lunch.
Val and I on St. Pete Beach.
Enjoying a few beverages at the tailgate outside the venue. Gotta love the goofy crap that people give you so that you'll look just as silly as them!
We had VIP access, so this was how close we got to park to the Amp. Damn.
Cool screen shot that I just had to get.
Just Jimmy and his guitar. Barefooted - gotta love it!
Can you tell that we're having some fun by this point?
Another of Jimmy... if you've never seen him live... wow!
Downtown Tampa, right before we headed for the airport to drop off the car and head home!
awesome trip and an awesome time! like i said, if you love "island escapism" then you've got to see jimmy at least once in concert!
