gasparilla 2014

this past weekend we headed down to tampa to celebrate gasparilla with the fam.  you may remember when we went down last year to see my dad get crowned king. you also may remember when we went a few years ago and tyler got to be a guest pirate.  this year was so much fun with my sister, her fiancee and the daniels.  we got to spend the morning with family on the ship and then see my dad and his court in the parade.  such a fun day and once in a life time experience! see a few more pictures here on my photography website.  oh and ps that is a dolphin in the water!
