The Rest of Florida

It was required that we hit the beach, if only just to walk in the sand for 15 minutes. I mean look at the pretty blue water!

We stayed at Joey's in Seffner, which was next to Brandon, Florida. I would not let Brandon miss this photo-op. He promised to name a town after me someday :)

Brandon in Brandon, FL

We found the perfect souvenirs at CVS. All those magnets say "Brandon."And no trip would be complete without some good eats. Joey's girlfriend Mara is the GM at Captain Just's Crab House. Hush puppies and honey dipping sauce, yes:

She also had us try Oysters Rockefeller:

Oysters smothered in cheese, spinach and bacon - why have I not had this sooner?! We also met up with our friend Nate, who took us to Burger 21.

I ordered the shroom burger, fries and a strawberry milkshake. The burger was delicious and the bun was perfect. The fun part was the ketchup station. The most unique flavor was toasted marshmallow. Not a fan!
