Our food at Pho813. The husband had pork and chicken and shrimp with rice and I had the special Vietnamese My Tho noodle soup which is calamari, shrimp, and pork. I also had a rose blossom lemonade and the husband had a Kirin Ichiban beer.

Hyde Park, #tampa last night. Dinner at On Swann was awesome as always. The temps and vibes were great. We were surprised by how uncrowded the shops and whole area were. Many were practically empty, like Anthropologie and Sur La Table. Restaurants were packed though. #tampaeats

Friday night date night at Del Frisco’s Grille and International Plaza in #Tampa . Dinner was excellent (we shared a bunch of apps) and the vibes were high at the good mall. We found gifts for each other and a couple other people as well. #TampaEats

Date night last night. Michelin star chef Andrew Yeo did a guest takeover of The Arts Club at The Tampa Edition with an Asian Tapas menu. Chef Yeo visited our table and chatted with us and he was so gracious. The food was outstanding. We did get rained on but not too badly. #tampa #tampaeats
