Bad Trip to Tampa - Phils Lose - Hoyas Lose - Duke Loses - But the Seminoles Win






Pictures - 1 - 1989 Keith and Drew at the Clearwater Phillies Stadium - 2 - Harry and Keith in the exact same place but 17 years later almost to the day - 3 - The Venezuela crowd at the Phillies game - 4 - Nancy and Harry at the Sun Dome on USF Campus right before the game - 5 - Inside the Sun Dome with the Hoyas warming up.

We just got home from out trip to Tampa for the weekend. It was 260 miles each way. Nancy got us a Lincoln town Car and a Marriot Suite on the internet.
First - we went to see the Phillies play in Clearwater. They lost to Venezuela 1-0. But it was so nice sitting outside and watching the game. There was a big crowd there from Venezuela - and they seemed to take it very seriously - carrying flags - and wearing special clothes.
Second - we went to the University of South Florida and saw Georgetown play USF in the Sun Dome. It was a nice crowd for their last game because they allowed all the faculty and staff to go for free. The tickets said $25 - but Nancy and I were able to get tickets outside for free. USF was 0-15 in Big east games and they ended the year on a positive note.
Third - we went back to our hotel to watch the 9PM game between UNC and Duke. It was a close game and we were all pretty tired and dozing on and off in our hotel suite - but we all saw the end where Duke lost.
Fourth - we drove home today in time to see FSU play Miami. We were sure of one "Everhart" team winning this one. The game was close all the way but FSU scored in the last minute to win.
So - only one of our teams won this weekend.
Now we are looking forward to our trip to Atlanta on Wednesday - and then attending the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, NC - on Thursday to Sunday. Both FSU and Duke are in the tournament. After the tournament - we will put Keith on a train in Greensboro to go back to Washington DC and Nancy and I will drive home to Tallahassee.
