Last day in Florida (part 3)

Remember me telling you how mom and Debbie thought the skirts were so comfy and amazing?  So much so that they took them out for a cruise around town to take in some sights.  And craziness followed with them thinking they were going to get in major trouble as Miss New Hampshire sported some Boston Red Sox gear at the Tampa Bay Rays stadium (Sox were in town for a game too).  She had me take a photo of her in her skirt "mooning" but that is on her phone.  Crazy, just like I told you.  
 Then we sat in the parked car for about 20 minutes as a terrible rain storm blew through the area with thunder and lightning.  I was intrigued by this tree:
 I got out to take a few photos of it since it was very unique looking.  Upon a closer look what you think is dangling moss is actually like a branch with roots stretching towards the ground.  That might explain why the tree looks like it has a massive trunk but closer you see some gaps in it.  I guess it "drops" roots and grows the diameter of the tree.
See how it looks like a lot of trees really close to each other.  This is a tree to be "afraid" of if you are like me and think plants are going to go Adam's family on you and eat you/wrap a vine around you and snatch you up.  Yup, irrational phobia of living plants (and dead ones too).
 The street near where we were parked.  We were quite amused while parked as well by the people walking by on their way to the Warped tour.
 Weather cleared up quickly and we stopped by the beach just to put our toes in the sand.  The water was quite warm and not very refreshing.  Perhaps if it had been a lot hotter, but in my opinion temps in the 90's are hot enough.
 I went to take a nice photo of them and mom thought she'd try to toss her to the ground.  They really are a bunch of goofs that keep you and each other laughing.
 Still laughing/smiling from the fight to topple each other over.
 We went to Wal-Mart (you never know what you will find) and it is fun to people watch.  After we stopped at a cup cake place and got these yummies.  That afternoon we went for a swim in the pool and took a nap before meeting Debbie's boyfriend for dinner.  He is a really nice guy and he makes her happy so that counts for a lot.
