Well, our latest adventure was time spent following the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship. In 2005 we traveled to San Antonio, in 2007 to Sacramento-Lake Tahoe, and this year it was Tampa-St.Pete. Each year we had hoped to see our favorite women’s team, the Florida Gators, play in the finals. This year they were knocked-out by the eventual winner, Penn State. We saw awesome volleyball, especially the Finals - Penn State vs Texas.
When we were not attending the volleyball matches we stayed at a resort on Indian Shores Beach. Indian Beach is a large beautiful beach located on Tampa Bay. It is north of St. Pete Beach and south of Clearwater Beach. There are many casual and some upscale restaurants located on Gulf Blvd. and we sampled a few
The photograph on the album cover was taken as two weather fronts came together over the bay. The weather was unusual—at the beginning of the week the fog lasted well into the afternoon. At times we couldn’t see across the intercoastal. We had almost no rain. The last day was absolutely beautiful but the wind was 20-30 mph. The surf was up and dozens of surfers were out in their black body suits looking like seals bobbing in the Gulf. Some people were using kites to pull themselves around in the Gulf while balancing on small surf boards.
Each day brought long walks on the beach and it was a very restful week—perfect recovery mode for Sharon. . So you can see some of the beach pictures and some volleyball pictures go to:
