A Sunshine Tour

February 17, 2009 by Amelia

One of my favorite Mom bloggers, Scribbit, has posted an article I wrote for her site about all of my favorite places to visit in the Tampa Bay area. A warm, sunshine-y welcome to all of you who have stopped by from her site. And if you haven’t stopped by her site today, please do so! It will make you want to move here! Oh wait, that’s kind of ironic since there’s a for sale sign in my front yard and we’re moving back to Michigan. Reading over my list of favorite things to do around here makes me want to pack up a bag and hit the road today and go visit every place just one more time, especially Ft. DeSoto. Sigh. It is heavenly.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s/President’s Day weekend, and as a result, my home today is in no condition for showing. Since I never know when that phone may ring, I need to go find my mop.

    Thanks for posting this. We are headed to the Tampa area in April and will have to try some of these suggestions out.

    My pleasure, Michelle! From what I’ve read about how you love shells, you would definitely love Ft. DeSoto.

    Carrie, how great to hear from you! Please let me know if you check out any of the places on my list. The weather should be great here in April!

    Thanks for stopping by, Alison!

    Very nice post over at Scribbit. Best of luck with your move. Being close to family sounds great – even if you have to sacrifice all of those great places and the sunshine!

    Great article, friend! Maybe we can visit Fort DeSoto with our families before you leave us?

    Thank you, Michele. We’ll be cold for the first year after we move, but family is worth it!

    Susan, let’s make a date! Now that it’s getting warmer again it’s beach time!

    When did you decide to move?
    We have been back in TX for about 2 months. It is going well so far.
