Convention Day Last

The final gavel came down yesterday. Before that, a flurry of activity, trying to get as many resolutions passed as possible. Overall it was an interesting week. Some good, some not so good. Our District delegation debriefed yesterday and then out for one final dinner together. We went to the Columbia restaurant in Ybor City. It is a pretty famous place and the food was really good. Some pictures:


An inside view of the Columbia. We were sitting on the first floor at the far end of this picture.


The "Wine Bible" as they called it. They said they have over 60,000 different wines! (How can you even choose from a list like that!)


You can't really read this, but it a warrant (or something similar to that) from 1929 - prohibition! The restaurant was accused of selling intoxicants and ordered to stop "in the name of the President of the United States." Very cool old piece of history.

So now I am sitting in the Tampa airport waiting for my flight home. The line to check my bag was enormous! But sailed through security with pre-check. (Worth every penny!) Now I am sitting at a carousel in the gate area. Just like the ones the have in libraries - very nice. Can get a little work done before boarding. And then home. It will be good to be home. :-)
