I was recently invited to check out the Visit Tampa Bay mobile activation, which made a stop in Philly! 🚚☀️🐓🏙️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Through this immersive activation, I had the opportunity to learn more about Tampa Bay, a city I haven’t yet visited but that has been on my travel bucket list. The activation provided visitors with an up-close and personal 3D view of iconic places such as Busch Gardens , The Florida Aquarium , Tampa Riverwalk , and Ybor City. 🌿🐠🎢⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It was great to connect with the Visit Tampa Bay team and learn more about the city’s vibrant communities, rich Cuban and Latin American history, and exciting attractions. If you’re looking for a warm, sunny escape from the chilly Northeast winter weather, Tampa Bay is a destination to consider ☀️🥘🏙️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thanks for inviting me! Have you ever visited Tampa Bay? ⁣⁣

If you’re looking for a lovely weekend escape in the Northeast, I highly recommend Annapolis, Maryland. Annapolis is a colonial port city on the Chesapeake Bay, in Anne Arundel County. Maryland’s capital is home to historic sites, gardens, museums, entertainment, and more. It’s only about 2 hours from Philadelphia, making it a fantastic option for a weekend getaway. When searching for accommodations in Annapolis, look no further than…...

Graduate Annapolis is a boutique hotel that combines collegiate nostalgia with local charm, creating a unique stay in Annapolis, Maryland.
