St. A's Weekend BT Activities??

Last year was awesome!! I'd love to do it again!!

You ROCK Q! Thanks for organizing! 

OK cool!!!  Glad to know there's some interest!  I know we have plenty of time, but at least I know I can go ahead and start making some plans. 

We'll do like we did last year...meet at Baywalk on Friday night for a little meet and greet, have some frozen drinks, etc.  Then Saturday is Meek and Mighty, so anyone who wants to come out and cheer on some BTers, we'll be there!  Saturday night we'll do our big gathering...I'll contact Marino's a few weeks in advance so we have a place to eat.  This will be fun!!

Aimster - 2008-02-20 9:16 AM Did someone say ice cream??!!  I would definitely like to meet some BT folks for dinner. Put some faces to names. Count me in.

Yes, I said ICE CREAM.   Baywalk has a Ben & Jerry's that I ate at twice on Sat.  Once before dinner, once after.

My mom dad and uncle will be there as well.  My dad is doing meek and mighty

yeah. we had a kids' table at marino's last year.    My hubby sat at it to supervise.... 

Tom and Dylan are doing the Meek and Mighty.

The place we went to was called dish.  It's an art gallery now.     It is on the other end of the shopping center that it was on.  Like, maybe 200 yards or so away. Walk through the daiquiri bar and there you are.

 Marino's is a steakhouse, one of several owned by Dan Marino.  hamburgers, steak, pasta, salmon. 

last year, jldicarlo went to the Sox game right after the race!!   Lucky this year it's BEFORE the race!  She is sooo gonna miss it!     

upon a recommendation from a friend who lives out there: Best Western on 4th and 54th.  Looks like a straight, 3 mile drive to the site down 4th.  She also gave me the Comfort Inn on 54th, and the Holiday Inn express on 54th ave N.   I can't stay with her, she has cats.    

I just spent an hour looking for a room.  Everythign is freakin' booked.  Get busy!

I was wavering on staying down in St Pete or just driving down.

Hampton Inn on 34th St still has plenty of rooms.  I was actually able to get a room with my Hilton points.  No brainer on that decision.

I looked at the Hampton too.  We stayed at the Days Inn on 34th last year.   I'm staying on the other side of the Interstate. 

a hotel room makes sense for all the multiple trips all day when you think about it.... plus you can sneak away for a nap.  

my coach is staying at the Vinoy. sheesh.... 

I get to stay there too   I am not paying - it's a treat from someone else.  I may just skip the race and sip drinks on the balcony

turtlegirl - 2008-02-21 11:08 AM yaya!!! I"m finally going to do this, after years of just missing it with my spring break.  and I get to meet all you clowns!

I'm staying at home the night before.  I can't see paying money to stay close when it's only 35 minutes from my place to there. 

parrj - 2008-02-21 12:31 PM Good news.  I got the boot off today and I  may actually be able to run by St A's.  

That's awesome.  But, what about the swimming and biking?
