Taco Bus

On our way out from Tampa we stopped at the legendary Taco Bus for some tacos. If you're getting your tacos from anywhere other than a bus, you're doing it wrong. The place had a long line when we got there and it was a funny sight lining up outside of a school bus to place your order. We tried just about every taco they had available and loved them all. This is also where we found Jules' new favorite drink, watermelon water. That drink will make any environmentalist forget about the bucket of styrofoam it's served in. 

Cigar City Brewing

We didn’t spend much time in Tampa because the only real reason for us to stop there was the Cigar City Brewing Company. Unfortunately, we arrived 45 minutes late for their last tour of the facility. Slightly bummed, Jules and I talked to the bartender for a little and in the end each got a half flight to try all the beers that we haven’t already had. One of the cool thing about Cigar City is they brew a lot of different styles of beer, many of which you can only get at the brewery. Many of the beers were great but none of the best ones were available for growler fill. This is when I learned about a funny Florida law. Florida prohibits the sale of 64 oz. (standard) growlers. Because of this Cigar City sells a 32 oz. growler and a 128 oz growler. It makes no sense!

Yoder's

While driving towards Tampa we hit a bad storm, which ultimately led us to grab some sandwiches from a nearby store and crash at the next rest area. In a way this worked out because we had a really delicious breakfast stop about an hour north. The place is called Yoder's and they’re known for their Amish roots and peanut butter cream pie. We ordered the skillet and people kept walking by asking what it was so that they could order it! Everything was delicious but we especially loved the peanut butter pie!
