DESTINATION: TAMPA PREMIUM OUTLET MALL

78 F, Sunny

Wow! What a nice warm sunny day! Today’s Game Plan included a trip to the Tampa Premium Outlet Mall in Wesley Chapel. That area has grown so much over the past 10 years that. The mall itself is OK—no Chico’s though. I enjoyed walking in the warmth and sunshine. We also explored Costco where TK gassed up the truck for $2.46/gallon.

The Angus burgers at Ford’s Garage Restaurant tasted very good—we have visited Ford’s in Estero near Ft. Myers.  http://fordsgarageusa.com/  

While driving around the area very close to TRR, we have seen many beef cattle farms—Black Angus and longhorn are the cattle breeds that I recognize. I believe this part of Florida is known for its beef cattle.  I have mentioned before that George Steinbrenner owned one of the nearby large cattle ranches that was passed on to his sons. I do not know if they still own it.

There are orchards of oranges everywhere we go, too, but this year there were problems with frost and I don’t think the crop did too well. Perhaps I will find out in the next few days.

Now TK is too busy watching the football game to give me a “take.” I sure do  hope that the Philadelphia Eagles win tonight, but I won’t realize my dream of an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl this year.
