Upper Tampa Bay Trail

Today we had a reprieve from the humidity and along with the nice shady trail it made for a beautiful day blading. Somehow we bladed off and left both Debra's in the parking lot. To make things worse, we went North and they went South. Honest girls it was not an evil plot to leave you behind. Today we had lots of first timers: Gayle, Erica, Eric, Tim & Jef. Welcome new bladers!!! Chris, Roseann and Gary joined us again. Welcome back. We had 22 bladers today. Our biggest group so far this year. Somehow Eric wasn't in the picture. It was just one of those days.

We brunched at Grama Grippos as planned. Grama Grippos had a hard time serving us coffee (as usual) but they had the water glasses full and waiting for us. It seemed to me all the food looked (and tasted) really great. Chris's Bayshore Boulevard Casserole and Roy's Banana Pancakes looked scrumptious. Rob rated his Eggs Benedict a 9 but I heard lots of 9 1/2s and some 10s.
