Well, the preparation time flew by and now I am here in St. Pete for the Miss Florida Pageant week!  The excitement fills the room when all 40 contestants are present!  We had a very busy day today.  We checked into our dorm rooms at the USF St. Pete campus and we unpacked our stuff into our new rooms for the week.  We went straight to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and to sign autographs before their game with the LA Dodgers...which I was very excited about because I LOVE Baseball.  We watched the game and then sang God Bless America before the 7th Inning.  It was really exciting!  We then went to the Pier where we ate dinner at the Columbia Restaurant (which is one of my favorites! We came back to our dorms and we had a production meeting with the Miss Florida board on what to expect this week.  We have a busy week ahead of us and I will update you all every day.  I will also be adding pictures from each event in our Snap! Gallery.  Stay Tuned!!!
