Navarre, FL Jan. 2013 then to Tampa FL area Feb - Apr. 2013

Nvarre Campground, Navarre, FL
I'm not finding a picture of our site but here's one of the "beach" and an odd bug that was on our picnic table. I was told it is an Asian Multicolored Lady Beetle. Looked scary to me!

Navarre Campground's beach. Nothing great but it was sand and water!
For you bug lovers out there!
We spent a lot of time driving to Destin for things to do. Navarre isn't really much of a destination kind of place. It was nice that it was between Destin and Pensacola to drive to those cities for things to do.
Poppy's in Destin, FL for Valentine's Day. Shrimp and Grits - yum!

Naval Museum at the Pensacola NAS. Highly recommend a visit!

On the Tampa! We LOVE Tampa! So much to do, so pretty and the temperature is wonderful (we'll except maybe the summer :-)  I've only hit on some of the highlights of things to do around the -Tampa-St. Peterbury area. If you get bored while in this area, it's your own fault! 

Honeymoon Island
Honeymoon Island State Park is gorgeous! We were here in March so the water was too cold for us but the view and the walk along the beach were great!

Biff Burgers, always a car show going on!
Bruce had heard about Biff Burgers, and being the car guy that he is, we had to go check it out. It is a fun place with good food and a free car show on Friday nights. Something special goes on most nights. Check out their webpage for events.

Seafood Festival at Safety Harbor
 We loved Safety Harbor! A quaint little town that hosts this Seafood Festival.

The Pier at St. Pete. To be demolished in May, 2013 :-(

St. Petersburg

Festival of Speed at St. Pete with our friends Maryann and Tom

Loved the yellow blooming tree with the blue and white background, in St. Pete

"The Baranoff Oak" in Safety Harbor, FL


The Strawberry Festival in Kissimmee, FL is a must do if you are in the area! Loads of things to do and eat! We went to 2 of the concerts - Chubby Checkers, who put on a great show and Foreigner that evening. It was a lot of fun!
