The Girls Visit St. Pete

Christmas Part Dos:  my three daughters (could be a TV sitcom) came to visit.  The time always goes too quickly, but we pack in a lot of stuff!  We started off with our "Christmas" gift exchange.  Always a fun time!  For dinner, we headed over to the Queenshead for fish and chips.  Voted the best in St. Pete!

The next day we took a walk along the Bay to downtown.  We stopped in the Vinoy for our annual Christmas Tree photo shoot.  Then we headed over to Meze for some shawarma after a couple appetizers.  About halfway on our walk home, it started raining.  We walked fast, then ran to make it before getting too soaked.  We had a few (?) moments of drama, but all ended well.  Hot cocoa with peppermint marshmallows and corn flake wreath for night time snacks.

We took a walk to the Saturday Morning Market.  It seemed like half the vendors were missing.  Was definitely a scaled back version between the holidays.  We then walked over to Three Birds Tavern on 4th Street North for mid afternoon lunch and ate out on the porch.

It was a warm day and no rain!  Seems like all we do is eat, doesn't it?  I enjoy when the girls come to visit and we get to stretch Christmas out a bit more!

I had to include a picture of my niece's twins.  We refer to them as the "Twinkies"!  Gabriella and Lucas.  Gabby looks just like her mom, and Lucas looks like his dad!
