Took a #hosted trip to @rustypelicantampa a couple Took a #hosted trip to @rustypelicantampa a couple weeks ago and boy we had a time! The funny part was when management somehow read my mind and send over their new Belle cocktail. The seafood tasted like it was fresh out the water and I was like a little kid looking out the window and watching the fish jump out the water. Y’all, realizing people vacation where we have these views still blows my mind. 

What seafood could you eat for the rest of your life? I think it’s shrimp and salmon for me ☺️
