St Petersburg

My husband and I went to Florida for our first wedding anniversary. His Aunt and her husband and his Uncle and his wife live in Florida. My husband had been to Florida almost every year of his life before we met. But this was my first trip to Florida. It is a BEAUTIFUL state and I enjoyed it VERY much! We flew from Ohio to Tampa and then rented a Ford Ranger and drove to St Pete Beach where we stayed with his Aunt and Uncle who were kind enough to let us stay with them for a week! St Pete Beach is a BEAUTIFUL beach! There is SO much to do and see!

Tampa

Tampa is a great city full of life and lots of interesting people!
