Mia's Visit - A Full Day 1

Mia arrived shortly before midnight on Monday night.  It was so good to have her back in Florida for a visit, and to have her all to myself for several days!


We started Tuesday with some OJ and watermelon, then headed over to Sunset Beach on Treasure Island.  It was such a beautiful day for the beach; blue skies, a gentle breeze, refreshing water, gently rolling waves.
Setting up our homestead . . .
We went for a walk up the beach.
Doing her "Beyonce" effect . . . where does that breeze come from?
 A good beach read.

YAY!!!  I'm back in Florida!
Such a beautiful day.
Sparkling water.


Some of the beach homes we passed on our walk.




And my future retirement home . . .
[The 'eclectic' one in front, not the "high rise".]


We hung out on the beach for about 3 hours, then headed over to downtown St Pete to have lunch at the Lucky Dill.

So many choices!


 A nice afternoon for a sidewalk lunch!







That's a mighty big reuben!















Thoughts of Ruby as we were having lunch!

After doing a load of beach towels and suits, we relaxed a bit, cleaned up, and then headed over to the India Grill for dinner.  So yummy!


Gotta love it!  Since I've already taken pics of the food there, I thought I would spare of all the repetition!

 We walked around downtown for a while, heading up to the Vinoy, then back down Beach Drive.

Always love the palm trees along here.

Uh, did anyone notice this???



And, what else?  We stopped for some frozen yogurt.
 These Community Banks have been appearing all over the area.  As Mia says, "Pretty Men in Black" look.  Think it's a front for some massive underground operation???
