Our trip Day 1: St. Pete Pier

Our little family traveled down to St. Petersburg on Saturday for an extended weekend which included a Rays game and celebrating our 2nd anniversary. We got into town and before checking into our hotel, we made a trip over to the Pier. We decided to grab something to eat before we strolled around. We found a place called Capt Al's which had some great food and mashed potatoes for the little guy! Here are some photos :)

at me eating a sandwich! He thinks everything is funny!



After lunch, Michael got a surprise treat! We met this nice man at the Pier who made animal balloons! Michael watched intently while he worked...




Michael may not be displaying enthusiasm when he got his monkey, but we assure you, he LOVED it! He played with the darn thing all day until it came apart :)


We walked around the Pier, went to the Aquarium but only hung out in the gift shop. We were ready to leave and head to the hotel to check in and swim! However, before we left the Pier, we had to get some family pictures!

My wonderful boys!


Me and Michael blowing kisses!


Our family!



After a fantastic afternoon, we finally went to the hotel!

We checked in, unpacked and headed straight for the pool! After a nice swim, we went to dinner at Baywalk and had some sushi followed by desert at Ben and Jerry's! Couldn't have asked for a better first day of vacation! Daddy is going to complete Day 2! Enjoy and we love and miss everyone!
