The Road to St. Pete Beach Tampa, Florida

Tampa Florida St. Pete BeachAfter a crazy start to our day at Busch Gardens and a fun day at the park, the next day we packed up our hotel room and would drive to Orlando where we would be staying for the remainder of our vacation.  But first we wanted to take the kids to the beach. 

St. Pete Beach

It was on the way to the beach that the most bizarre thing happened.  Jason stopped for gas and while we were stopped a couple of the girls asked if they could go inside to the bathroom. 

I walked in the convenience store with them, and they bounded inside.  As I held the door open, I saw a man walking toward the door so I stayed to hold the door open for him.  I had been emphasizing to the kids that they shouldn’t just walk through a door way without holding the door for the next person coming.  It’s just common courtesy.
