Xmarks @ Tampa Bay Highland Games

Nov. 3rd was a beautiful day in Florida for the Highland Games. Cool and Breezy. Sir Daniel was there from Lakeland Florida with his lovely Lady.



Here I am with Sir Daniel

Thanks for posting the pictures of us buddy. It was a very pretty day. If we had more $ money on us there would have been a purchase at your tent.. : - )

Where where the games held? I am from the Tampa area and would like to time a trip down there to include the games. Great pictures by the way.

Nice photos, Shriner!
Could the band be wearing MacKenzie? It looks similar from here (but Michigan to Florida is quite a distance and my vision certainly isn't 20/20!).

Excellent pics; great to see x-markers meeting up, and to match faces to usernames.
