Our Date in St. Pete

We started our afternoon at John's Pass Boardwalk in Madeira Beach.

They had several cute shops and restaurants. We ate at a place called Sculley's Boardwalk Grille that had a great deck overlooking the water.

The shopping is great!

We found quite a few treasures while strolling along the boardwalk.

We went to the Pier for more great shopping.

Behind the Pier you can sit and eat and listen to bands playing.

We stayed at the Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort on St. Pete Beach.

Our room was really nice.

It even had a murphy bed in that wall behind the sofa.

The view from our room.

Standing on our balcony we were serenaded by this guy singing!

It was great!

This is why they call it Paradise.......

The Hurricane House Restaurant

We grabbed some breakfast at the Hurricane House.

They make FANTASTIC Cuban breakfast sandwiches! Pair that along with some fresh pineapple juice. Heaven!

My Dad told us about River Woody Roo's and the Ellington Outlet Mall.

It was a fun place to eat lunch and shop on our way back to North Port and I bought the

cutest raincoat at the Columbia Outlet Store!

We ate outside and had a great view of the Bay.

Jim had a buffalo chicken sandwich and ....

I tried the Cuban beans and rice. It was really flavorful!

It was so nice to get away with just the two of us, now

back to Dad and Jayne's for the rest of our fun filled week!
