Food in Florida

Maybe it was because we were in Florida, or maybe it was just because I didn't have to cook AT ALL while we were there, but I loved eating during our vacation.  First of all, the hotel provided a hot breakfast every day AND dinners Monday-Thursday.  When we weren't taking advantage of that, we were eating out on the company's dime.  Two cool places worth mentioning:

Thai food (our favorite) at Thai Ruby!  It had a different selection than the Thai places here, but it was still pretty awesome.  I think I like Basil Thai better, though...but maybe it's just because it is familiar.

AND...Columbia!  It's Florida's oldest restaurant (since 1905), in Ybor.  It's a little pricey for average dinner food, in my honest opinion, but the ambiance of the old building as well as the FLAMENCO SHOW totally make up for it!  I so need to learn how to dance.  :)  We went with two of Paul's coworkers, and that was a fun change of pace.  Definitely a good parting dinner, since I left EARLY the next morning for home.  Sorry for all the blurriness, we only had our phone cameras with us, and they don't do well inside...in the dark...with lots of moving people.  :)
