it's cold in Florida, really its cold!!

My girlfriend recently won an all expense paid vacation to stay at the Trade Winds Resort in St. Petersburg for 2 nights before the end of January. The hotel was fairly booked for the rest of this month. We had to settle on a Sunday and Monday night that we could work out between our two schedules. We arrived in St. Petersburg yesterday to be greeted by some incredible weather. The temp gauge in my car said 59 degrees and the wind gave a nip at your face. This isn't the usual beach weather that you hear about in Florida while on the sweet beach vacation. We did manage to get somethings done on the beach despite the cool weather. We walked up and down the coast as the temperature continued to lower into the 40's. We snuggled into our room to keep from the abnormal temperatures. We listened to the howling wind through the windows as we stayed in the comforts of our cocoons. What an evening in beautiful sunny Florida. Actually this weather made for a wonderful weekend getaway. We are very used to attending the beach during the hot humid summers. This was a refreshing change of pace. We also found the most incredible place in St. Petersburg to get smoked fish! So the next time your in the area look for Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish Inc. They served me up a 1 lb piece of smoked mackerel that was to die for, and then they paired it up with German potato salad and the most unusual cole slaw that I have eaten in a while.


Be Innovative!!

Joe! You posted! Glad to see it. By the way, my wife and I spent the weekend at a B & B in Homasassa. Look for my review on my blog. It was nice change to get away and also wear warm clothes. Coincidentally, we discussed Ted Peters with a St. Pete couple staying at the B & B. Never been there but it was featured on the Food Channel show "Diners, Drive-in, & Dives." If you've never seen the show, it is a hoot.

Dina always gets all the fun stuff. Sounds like even though it wasnt exactly what you were expecting....it turned into something equally relaxing.

Harry's recommended TV show sounds fun, I'm going to check it out.
