We left on our honeymoon on Monday July 9Th before the crack of dawn. We flew Air Tran all the way to Tampa International. We then drove to St. Pete's Beach which was about a 35 minute easy drive. It rained a little bit on our first day in the morning but other then that is was sunny and HOT the whole week. We stayed on the beach at the Grand Plaza Hotel. It was the only round hotel on the beach and had a revolving restaurant. The beach was absolutely beautiful. We even watched, from our room, 2 weddings that were held on the beach at the hotel. They were both beautiful.
Of course we had to make good use of our car, so we took a day and just drove up the coast. We tried to get to Clearwater Beach, but the construction was so bad that we couldn't find a place to park. So, we headed back and stopped at Sand Key beach instead. I think it was the better choice since it wasn't so crowded. We also found some really great shells there too!!
We also took a boat ride on the Dolphin Racer. We got to ride through the Bay and into the ocean to watch the dolphins jump behind us. WOW! that was really awesome to see!! Some were really big and some were just babies. They jumped off and on, but we did see 5 jumping at one time behind us in the Bay.
We definitely got what we wanted out of the trip. Which was a relaxing, go-with-the-flow kinda vacation. Just what the doctor ordered after a VERY busy year.
