Weekend Trip From South Florida – St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is a 4.5 hour drive from Miami and, though different, has a lot of similarities.   St. Pete is on the Gulf, Miami is on the Atlantic.  St. Pete is full of tourists, as is Miami.  The Port of Tampa (St. Pete/Tampa/& Clearwater are basically considered one area) services Central Florida and is doing a lot of business with Brazil; Port Miami services Central America and also does a lot of business with Brazil.

There are a lot of things to do in both St Pete and Miami, but I am a beach girl and spent the time I was in St Pete on the beach with my nephews.

Pinecrest Gardens – Answer to Last Week's Where's J Wo?

Pinecrest Gardens, the site of the old Parrot Jungle on Red Road in the Village of Pinecrest, is more than a beautiful tropical garden.  It could also be considered the Village’s downtown.  Since the Village’s borders are US 1, Red Road, 136 Street and 88 Street, there weren’t many areas to create a Village Center when the Village first incorporated in 1996.  Today, Pinecrest Gardens hosts a weekly farmer’s market, a jazz series, classical concerts, art exhibits, plays, a horticultural series, movie nights, food tastings, and so much more.  Couple it with the Village Community Center and the Library and it is definitely the place to hang out in Pinecrest.

Flagler Monument Island – Last Week's Where's JWo Answer

With boating season coming up, though it would be fun to post some spots that are close to marinas and different from going to the sand bars and Elliot Key.  Flagler Monument Island is right off of the Venetian Islands in Miami Beach.  There are a few picnic tables, and the sculpture designed by H.P. Peterson, with four individual statues, is unique and offers an interesting piece of history.
