Mike returned from his work week in Nashville soon after
Rachel, Jim, Hugh & Lisa departed. He’s been back for over 2 weeks, giving
us time to explore the city together. The Saint Petersburg City Municipal
Marina, where SeaDream is docked, lies on the Tampa Bay side of St. Pete peninsula,
in the heart of the city. There are museums, parks, restaurants, grocery
stores, colleges and old neighborhoods all within walking distances. Traffic is
amazingly light and sidewalks are wide and inviting. Louie loves our many walks
and can even dine with us at the numerous sidewalk restaurants. It’s a very
dog-friendly town.
Last weekend we attended a play in the park , taking both
Louie and a picnic dinner. Perfect weather added to the fun.
With so much to do, I’ve neglected writing but will soon be
documenting our trip to Mobile, then up the Tenn-Tom to Florence, AL, beginning
Monday so stay tuned to our SPOT and blog for progress reports. The first day we’ll
move to the Gulf side of the St. Pete peninsula to Clearwater, followed by a 20
hour overnight to either Apalachicola or Panama City, weather permitting. Hurricane
season starts June 1 so we must move North. Leaving Saint Petersburg will be
hard but, there’s always next winter.
