April 13, 2014:
Because we’re HAAPPEEEEYYY! Who wouldn’t be with this set-up in St. Pete? Fresh off the boat, we found ourselves right on the downtown strip. Lots of upscale bars and restaurants, a resort hotel and even a super swanky rooftop lounge. We spent our first night in St. Pete high on the town!
Jenny, what Jenny? That’s a problem for tomorrow! Enjoy the show:
Walking the downtown strip on Parkshore Drive.
Drinks at The Birchwood.
“How about a drink there First Mate?”
“Why, thank you Captain. Don’t mind if I do!”
Exquisite lobby and decor at the Vinoy Renaissance on the North Basin.
Beautiful banyan trees at the Waterfront Downtown Park.
Drinks and dinner at the Parkshore Grill.
Too bad we dug into dinner before this “foodie” could snap her shots. Whoops. But– take my word for it — it was awesome. A stacked juicy cheeseburger with hand-cut fries!
Drinks (yes, more!) this time at The Birchwood Rooftop Bar:
We could actually look out and see our boat there in the mooring field. Soooo cool.
See? You’d be happy too! We were definitely digging St. Pete. Not a bad place to be stuck for repairs. Not a bad place at all …
Thanks for your constant report. I have traveled every step of the way with you and enjoy the view. Wish I could be there too.

Thanks Jim. We certainly had a memorable trip. Glad to have you “onboard” – if only vicariously. Enjoy!
