Truth or Dare

While we were in Tampa, we took the kids on a streetcar. They were really excited to go on it. They could barely hold their excitement while we were waiting for the streetcar to arrive at the station stop. It was really neat to watch the joy on their little faces.

From the tecolinestreetcar.org site: Today, electric streetcars are back in Tampa, supporting continued growth in Downtown, Channelside and Ybor City. The first phase of the TECO Line Streetcar System is a 2.4 mile section that connects these three areas, improving transportation capacity, supporting Tampa’s thriving cruise industry and transporting workers to and from their jobs.
We took the streetcar to historic Ybor City from our downtown Tampa hotel. We have wanted to see Ybor City since Andrew took the bar when we first moved to Florida 2001. It is a neat historical area and I am glad we got to take our children there.
When we left the hotel, we didn't take any electronics with us. We disconnected completely for our Ybor City trip. On the way back to the hotel, Lane and Alex shared a seat. Alex taught Lane how to play truth or dare on the trip back.
I have never heard 4 and 6 year olds play a game of Truth or Dare before and it was hilarious. I tried not to laugh at their conversation. Some dares included: hitting the bench five times with a hand, smelling a shoe, and telling a random stranger hello. Truth questions included: do you like to smell your feet, what is your favorite food, and what is your favorite color. The innocence of this age is wonderful.
The few other passengers on the streetcar were having a tough time containing their laughter as well.
