Day 6 - Feb. 23 - Longboat Key and North

Another early departure headed first for Longboat Key just south of St. Pete.  A foggy start and a slow but steady slog up route 41. Arrived at noon and stopped for Grouper Quesadilla and Chicken Poblano soup at the Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant.  Very folksy waterfront spot and excellent food.

Stopped at Longboat Key beach before leaving the Island just to get our feet wet and to gather some small shells that Gordon plans to send to his grandkids.

Continued north crossing the bridge over part of Tampa Bay,  

saluted a tax processing statue promoting Liberty Tax Service 

before reaching our Indian Rocks hotel just south of Clearwater.  After some fiddling with Holiday Inn management we arranged a room to our liking (waterfront with balcony).

Settled in after the drive. Made a nice Mojito for each of us as we watched the final round of the Accenture golf match.

Good job Jason Day!

Then some Olympic closing ceremonies and bed.
