Weekend With Bob
The weekend before Heather's adoption was finalized we took
one last romantic weekend. Heather was off to spend the weekend with her Foster
Mom and she left Bob home, so we decided to let him join us on our short trip to
the beach.
We had a great weekend. Bob enjoyed his time too, he is one
party bear. We stayed at a Pasa Tiempo B&B in St Pete Beach, in the honeymoon
suite which included a hot tub, fireplace, and very nice view of the bay. The
first Night we went to a local spot called Philty Phil's. It had a band on the
roof that played Jimmy Buffet type music and the place reminded me of Bert's on
the Bluff in Birmingham, but the food was great. We split Seafood Chowder, Crab
Cake, Salad, Shrimp Skewers and Chocolate cake. The music was really loud
outside, so after we finished dinner, we went across the street and sat in a
little park on the channel and listened to the music. It was much better from a
distance, I guess I am getting old :)
After dinner, we headed back to the B&B for some sparkling
wine and bubble bath. We found Bob had gotten into the Root Beer and was in no
condition to head out and party, but we heard later he was seen at Philty Phil's
hanging from the rooftop :)
The next morning before breakfast, Bob hit the pool. Breakfast
was a continental style serve yourself but had allot of variety and fresh food.
Then all 3 of us had in-room massage which was really nice. After the massage,
we headed to the marina and took a short ferry ride to Shell Island. We spent
about 2 hours shelling on the island and then went to Fort Desoto State Park for
sun burning and swimming. We forgot the camera, so there are no pictures :(
After spending most of the day at the beach, we got dressed up and went out for
a nice dinner at the Don Cesar.
The Don was very nice, Bob enjoyed
the sunset, hot tub and bar area. For dinner we split Scallops appetizer,
Vanilla Bean soap, Sea Bass and Chocolate Banana bread. After dinner we walked
on the beach and then headed back to the B&B for sparkling wine and a bubble
bath. Bob got into the bubbly a little too much and fell into the bubbles but he
survived with just a few bubbles on his butt and feet.
Sunday morning, Bob played Hide-n-Seek, took a boat ride
on the owner's yacht and took a nap with Naomi. I guess he was real tired after
all the partying. Before we left, Bob toured the gardens and posed for a few
pictures with Angelisa in front of the B&B and then we were off to St Pete Pier
and home via the Skyway Bridge. It was raining, so pictures of the bridge were
not very good.
