Just got back from a 12-day trip to Florida, to Ramie's hometown of St. Petersburg.
Her family has a home on the Gulf of Mexico. Her grandad passed about 10 years ago, but still wanted the family to use it. The home was built in the 60's and is a trip into the past. It still has the wallpaper, turquoise stove and oven, purple bathrooms and kids rooms still decorated with their stuff. You can see bits and pieces in the pictures. Lol

St. Pete Beach
Storm is brewing
Wickie Wachee wading pool.
This is one of the many Spring Water Parks they have where the water is a nice 72 degrees instead of like bath water in the ocean. I loved it. So, refreshing. I didn't get any pictures of the spring itself.
Anna was the little water baby.
Little miss daredevil and the boys coming down the slide normally.
Anna, Connor and Grandma
We went to see the Little Mermaid show at Wickie Wachee, with real mermaids and of course Anna saw this Mermaid dress and had to have it. Justin picked a shark and Connor an alligator.
Visiting with blogging friends is so much fun.
On a Dolphin crusie. If you look closely, you will see a dolphin behind the wake on the other boat.

Some nice homes along the shore
Ramie bought a bead kit for the kids to make bracelets and necklaces. Avery is helping out.
Anna & Dad fishing. She actually caught one
Brad caught a small baby shark. He released it back to the ocean but was so excited to catch it.

You may recognize, Nancy Kearn Leppek,
She took me to this cute cafe, called 2D cafe in downtown St. Pete.
I know this was a very long post, but hope you enjoyed pictures from our trip.
Felt so good to be back in the PNW where it is cooler in the morning and evening. Or course today it is supposed to get to 97. UGH.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a wonderful trip and I loved seeing every.single.picture!! Still blows me away to see how big the triplets have grown...weren't they just turning one last week??!! And please don't send any of that 97 degree temps our way...we've had our share of 90 degree days here in Michigan this Summer and I don't much like it!! Today is 76 and breezy and I'm loving it, but the heat is supposed to build back in this weekend...yuck!! Hugs and thanks for sharing all the photos!! :0)
ReplyDeleteAll the water and kids playing looks like a perfect combo for fun! So glad you shared your vacation time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great vacation, Linda! I've always enjoyed pictures of the kids, but different now that I met them & can imagine the voices! Love the picture of you & your son! My grandma lived in St Pete for many years, but I only visited once. It was Christmas & it was still hot & humid to me--haha! Thankfully only 2 terrible days in a row for us here & a nice breeze in the shade. Glad you're home safe & sound!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda : ) It is always so much fun to see your beautiful family on their adventures!! It looks like a good time was had by all!!
ReplyDeleteBIG (((Hugs))) to Nancy too!! what a blessing for you both to get to meet.

Thank you for sharing this amazing photo diary of your fun trip with the Trips (hey, trip with the Trips!) to Florida. It really captures the joy and wonderful experiences you had! Lots of memories! My favorite is the kids on the tarmac by the plane ... looks like it is their own chartered flight, lol! And, of course, I love that you got to spend some time with Nanc'! Hugs, Darnell
