Feeding the alligators

We survived interstate 666

St Pete Pier

Sunday June 27th, 2010 I forgot to tell u before, we got suckered into the least expensive insurance plan for our rental car. She acted like we had to have it. But I think that stuff is covered under our insurance. So, note to self. Just say no.

Sunday, we got up and ate at our free breakfast. Then we went to the fitness center. I am always better at working out on vacation. I guess because they have nice equipment, anything to choose from. I'm sure the tv on the wall helps too. :). From there, we headed over to the beach. The beach is just across the street. The water is so warm, so I actually got in. I almost yelled shark, but realized sharks don't swim very happily and graceful. So we realized real fast that there were dolphins swimming right in front of us!!!! I darted out of the water and got my camera. Danny was probably 20 feet from them. I saw 3 at one time, but we were guessing that there was atleast 5 of them, maybe more. Notice Danny's new friends in the picture. I say his new friends, because I'm not the sociable one. Danny's new friends told us that the morning is feeding time for them. And they will come right up to you. So were going out there earlier tomorrow morning. ;) We also saw a crab come right up to us, I did not enjoy that though. Haha I was obviously backing up, those suckers run fast!

We headed in around noon to shower. Well, it's Sunday, so we had to eat lunch at Mcdonalds because it's . 49 hamburgers. From there we drove across land to the St Pete Pier. Which was not what we expected. I guess I was expecting lots to do and lots of shopping. We went into this mini aquarium. Left there and drove to the north west coast, and started at honeymoon island. We were two honeymooners on honeymoon island;). After that, we just drove south along the coastline; Clearwater, Indian rocks, Indian shores, reddington, madiera, and then back home to treasure island. Clearwater, had am awesome kids playground. Right on the beach. But we didnt stop because we dont have kids, lol. That could have been weird. Maybe next year. ;) we stopped by the hotel and then headed to dinner. We ate at cici's pizza. Danny loves that place. They closed the one near us, so we decided to go to this one. Normally we like to eat at only local resturaunts, and not places we've heard of, but cici's is our exception...oh and mc'y d's. We drove as far south as we could until the road stopped. So we were in St Pete and decided to get out the fishing poles. We didn't have any luck, except the huge rock that ate the end of my line. There was a pelican that hung out by this guy and never left. He would get scared and fly around but always came right back by this guys side.
