Travels on the Gulf Coast, Florida



Sandy Sisters

We spent one long day at the beach on Sunday, 4 hours almost. Yes my skin is feeling a bit parched but you won't hear me complain. I am digging it!

Ybor City Cuban Hotel and Bar



Ventured into Tampa and Ybor City - cigar capital founded by Cubans. Very interesting little community. Great cuban food and yes, IKEA is just down the street!

Golden Sunset on Clearwater Beach


Not sure how a sunset gets much better than this! May 23 09

Fabulous Florida in May 2009!


F L O R I D A !
Spending the last week of May in sunny Dunedin. It rained for 12 days straight, and it's still raining on the Atlantic side, but the sun gods cleared the clouds for our week in paradise. The weather has been absolutely great. I see why people move here from all over the world!

Tradition in our family is to dine at Frenchy's Rockaway Grill on our first beach evening, and in keeping with tradition, here we are. Vicky, Annabel and Darlene enjoying a cold one at Frenchy's.
