So, summer is here and based on that fact I decided to write a little haiku poem. Spring has come and gone,
Summer is now here to stay,
We'll be at the beach.
After spending many evenings pondering nature, poetry, and Florida I finally came up with that genius haiku. If you couldn't get the symbolism from it, it was that Summer is now here in Florida so we are going to attempt to get to the beach more. This week it was St. Pete's Beach.
We traveled the almost two hours down to St. Petersburg, Florida ( Not Russia). I would have love to have been in Russia though and eaten some good haladietz. Anyways, we only stayed for part of Friday and most of Saturday but it was a pretty good time. My lovely wife found us a hotel room on hotwire.com (they didn't choose to sponsor this blog so its not a hyperlink to their website) and we got to stay in a pretty nice hotel for not so much money.
We spent the Friday night watching the sun set, swimming in the pool and then wandering around being amused by the other visitors getting drunker and drunker. At least we'll remember our vacation. Saturday we went to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful Florida day. But, still only being in Florida for less than a year, we did learn a few things:
1. Put Sunscreen on more than one time a day.
2. Don't think that even if you're really white skinned, the sun won't burn you.
3. Just cause you've lived in Florida for almost a year that the sun won't utterly destroy your back, shoulders and everywhere else skin is located on your body.
If you couldn't tell from the three lessons learned, we got extremely sunburned. Was it worth it you may ask. A resounding "YES" I would reply because it was a lot of fun and I got to forget all about work and every other daily task and just think about my little lovely wife who I love.
Conclusion:
St. Pete's beach was pretty neat. The waves weren't that big but it was calm and relaxing. The hotel was nice and it was all very close to our home so that it could be a weekend trip with no vacation days taken.
The End.
