FL Vacation

We were thrilled to get to go back home to Florida for 12 days for summer vacation this year! We had 2 whole weeks of breeze, palm trees, manatee's, beaches, drinks, good food, friends, laughter, fresh air, Espree deKor (Chris & Peter), and some rain. It was probably to be DH's final trip before deployment, and I wanted to keep as stress-free & relaxing as possible! Let's just say "we" kept it stress-free, even though others sometimes made that very difficult! We went to Seaworld and spent the entire day there. It was great visiting my lovable Manatee's again! We also stayed in St. Pete for 4 days, were beach bums (even in the rain) most of the time, and basically drove around the city looking at homes and areas. We also got to go to the St. Pete Pier, and ate dinner at Cha-Cha Coconuts. We always have a great time in St. Petersburg, which is where we will call home when we get to go home! We visited friends in Punta Gorda, got to go to our old Church one Sunday, saw the Tampa Bay Rays game & after the game was over Pat Benetar played a free concert, drove the islands of Treasure Island, Indian Rocks Beach, Madeira Beach, Bellair Beach, St. Pete Beach, downtown St. Pete, Anna Maria Island, & much more while we were there. All in all it was a relaxing trip I did not want to come back to NC. It is much more humid and hotter in NC than it is in FL. I have a couple more years and then I will be living my vacation, and back home to FL where I belong!
