Oh I’m sure we’ll be driving over to Tampa a lot with baseball and hockey being over there lol. We’ve also never been to Busch gardens and I’d like to go. Dh has never even been to the beach!
You guys sound like us. When we moved to Tampa, I had been to Clearwater Beach once in my youth. We mostly went to Daytona & Disney though. DH had never been to the west coast of Florida. His family rarely travelled, but he had been to the east coast of Florida twice. The first time either of us has been to Tampa was, when we stayed in a hotel to look for a place to live. I asked every person we ran into at the hotel, stores, restaurants, on the street, etc., where they would choose to live, if they could live anywhere in the area. (Yes, I was a pest, but everyone was more than willing to help us out. ) They all gave us the same answer, so we looked for a place there. When we move, we always rent for 6 months to a year to get to know the area better, so we rented a condo. When our lease was up, we knew exactly where we wanted to buy.
We used to enjoy Lightning games too. DH's boss could get us club level seats. That was awesome. Hockey games can be the most fun, especially when they fight. It helps that the Lightning is always very competitive. We also went to several Buccaneer games, when DH had clients on the team that would give us tickets. We finally quit going, because those games weren't always family friendly. We're major Rays fans, so we actually pay for tickets to see them play.
Tampa has several nice attractions & fun events you may want to check out at some point. You can also hit I-95 & take advantage of all the things that Ft. Lauderdale & Miami have to offer for weekend getaways. We love that we now have easy access to all pro sports here. One thing is for sure. You definitely won't get bored, with all the places you have to explore, within an easy driving distance of the Melbourne area.
