Weekend Events

I'm a couple days late on this because I have been so busy at work, and also because I've been a complete slacker lately, but I had a really fun weekend in Tampa, Florida crossing a few things off my bucket list. I will start off with something I discovered quite by accident in downtown Tampa. We were exploring some fancy areas around downtown, and I came across a flyer posted on a pole. It was for a hidden speakeasy pirate bar. The flyer gave a clue to a location I had to find, which was a restaurant a few blocks over. On the sidewalk in front of the restaurant was one of those little A-frame sign boards, and on that there was clues to another location, which took me to an alley. A sign in the alley then directed me to a bookstore, and I had to find some books that when pulled off the shelf opened a secret door that led down a hallway that led into the speakeasy. It was so awesome once I found the place, and we enjoyed a couple of pirate themed drinks before heading out. The main reason we were in Tampa was because Bruno Mars was in concert at Raymond James stadium, the football stadium where the Tamp Bay Bucs play home games. Bruno actually had two sold out shows in the stadium (about 60,000 each night). Bruno Mars has been around for quite a long time, but I did not realize he was still that popular. Anyway, even though our seats were up in the nosebleed section, we had a great time at the concert. It was a beautiful night, it wasn't too hot, and no rain or thunderstorms anywhere to be found. We were even treated to a gorgeous sunset over Tampa Bay since our seats were so high up. It only took a couple of beers before I started dancing to his music! lol How was your weekend?
