Just Another Day in Clearwater

 Today was just another day in Clearwater.  Wawa is opening 5 new stores in the Tampa area, and Tom took us up to the one opening today.  This was a very special event.  We got to meet the REAL "Wawa Shortie" and the real "Wawa Goose": 

 A local high school jazz band provided music, and it was really well done.  Eileen and Kathy got into it with some line dance steps:

 After the Wawa Grand Opening Extravaganza, we stopped by Sea Dog Brewing Co. for some brews and lunch.  Here are Kathy and Eileen getting their brew on:

After a restful afternoon (Eileen crossworded, Kathy helped, David puttered, and Tom napped), we all headed over to Clearwater Beach for a Sunset Segway Tour.  The tours are run by a woman named Jean who worked with Eileen and Kathy's brother Steve at XM Radio, and she knows Steve!  Lots of XM stories were swapped.  Jean was kind enough to take a couple photos to prove that - not only did we all Segway - but we all Segwayed over the huge Clearwater Beach Causeway Bridge!

       

We toured through an older section of Clearwater Beach, and down to pavilion on the Bay:

It was getting chilly and on toward sunset, so we sped home on our Segways, and made it back to the beach in time for this spectacular sunset:

After rounding the evening off with a scrumptious dinner at Frenchy's on the beach, we headed home to warm up and chill out.
