Ever been to Tampa?
We're going to Tampa Thanksgiving morning (eeeeeeeearly...I'm already dreading it) and coming back late on Monday. Any must-see things or fabulous places to eat?
I know most of one day will be spent at the Lowry Park Zoo because SIL works there. And I'm guessing we'll hit up the beach.
(Is there a Florida board? I'll check and cross post over there.)
Thanks! :-)

Re: Ever been to Tampa?
I moved here from Tampa. I saw you got some good recs on RE. All of those were good except I would avoid the Big Cat Sanctuary. I hated that place. It felt very "Swamp People" to me.
Clearwater beach is pretty and close.
We're kind of going out.
My grandparents leave about 20 minutes outside of Tampa, so I used to go there all the time when I was younger.
Ditto the rec for Anna Maria Island
And if you're going to a beach- I definitely recommend Clearwater Beach. (Assuming you're ok with more of a 'family' environment and not the all-out night life kind of vibe.)
Find somewhere to see the manatees, too!
If you'll have a car, I'd recommend the St Pete Pier (http://www.stpetepier.com/)(maybe 15-20 minutes from Tampa?) That's in St. Petersberg... which would get you closer to Clearwater Beach, too.

I've been to St. Pete Beach. It was lovely. I don't remember the name of the place, but there was a restaurant (it might have been in St. Pete, not St. Pete Beach) that was known for their grouper sandwiches. It was a really fun place.

One word: Bern's.
Its my favorite restaurant in the whole entire world. Its not cheap, but DAMN is it worth it!! My bro used to live in Tampa, and we spent a couple of Christmases there. We went to Bern's for our x-mas eve dinner. I can still taste their fingerling potatoes and Chicken Gert....mmmmm
