Bongos, Buffalo and Bobs! #offsitebudget **COMPLETE**

[Vanillapod]

We were sat very close to you at the game! We made a run for the back when it rained before kick off. That was a lot of water! Did you stay put?
Did not see those fries but we did get through a lot of beer and an incredibly expensive box of popcorn!
Great atmosphere
We somehow ended up following the hardcore fans in!

This gives an idea of where we were

Yes we were to the left. Zoomed in but couldn't see us.
Yes we also made a run for it!
Didn't see any popcorn but hope the beer was good!
It sure was.

Final thoughts


Can't believe how quickly we have adapted back into our crazy busy every day life, yet still keep day dreaming of Florida...

and the yummy food.


We miss snacks like these...

I previously said I would do a mini conclusion. But now home, I can't recall what I was going to say/summarise! Over all we had a fantastic time, had great meals and quality family time. And even due to unforeseen circumstances with Mr P's brother, we were grateful to be there and for the time together.

We tried to stick to the budget as much as we could. Sometimes over, sometimes under. It is certainly doable off site with a bit of planning. Signing up for email offers certainly helped and buying some things from Publix etc to eat in the condo did too. Due to portion sizes, a large breakfast and dinner with an afternoon snack worked well for us.


So our favourite meals were...
(This was a really close call between nearly all the places we visited)

**Drum roll**


In St Pete Beach


No 3. Skidders

No 2. Crabby Bills

No 1. Bongos

In Orlando


No 3. Buffalo Wild Wings

No 2. Millers

No 1. Longhorns

Thought pictures speak louder than words!


Future plans


So we now have the shortest countdown as returning for Christmas and New Year! This was already booked before our summer budget trip. My parents are joining us for their 2nd once in a lifetime holiday! Staying at Bahama Bay (in one of BahamaBayLisa's condo) and doing Disney. We are planning on heading to St Pete Beach on Christmas Day.
Can't. Wait.

Plus returning to old favourites and trying new places.

Life is for living hey?! And eating!

Have really enjoyed (attempting & completing!) my first food trip report. A very big thank you to everyone who has read my waffle/ramblings and commented on the various photos. Love taking photos (even though my closest friends & family mock me!) and enjoyed looking back as each one has stirred and reminded me of a very happy memory. 😊😍😎😋

Thanks again.
