This year we wanted a complete beach vacation so we decided to go to St Petersburg Florida. Why St Pete? well, we had never been to that coast before but read a bunch of good reviews. It was important to find a kid friendly environment. No late night party bullshit. We flew Jet blue on Wednesday (June 2nd) and sure enough Sienna got to watch some cartoons. She really liked that. The flight was uneventful. Sienna is a very good traveler.

We arrived in Tampa (which is next to St Pete) in the afternoon and got our little rent a car. It was the first time that i used priceline and it worked out really well. The car was a tiny Kia Rio LX with a surprisingly large trunk. It took me a while to get used to how it handled. I have grown accustomed to how our CRV feels. So spoiled..

I shot a bunch of video clips. The final video would have been too long so i cut it up into 4 parts. I didn’t shoot many stills though. I need to work on that..

While in St Petersburg, we stayed at the Plaza Beach Hotel. The hotel is right on the beach. They also have a heated pool. I wasn’t so sure why they heated it but it felt good and Sienna loved floating around..

The first morning Sienna was up early as usual so i decided to take her out for a walk on the beach. That ended up happening every day.

morning walk

she loves the water

We met Houdini the parrot.

This was the first day on the beach. It was the calmest day. Not exactly a Jamaican beach but it was nice and not crowded at all.

mmmmmmm!! the beach!!

This is a really cute picture..

I don’t know where she got this from but it was cute.

I LOVE THE WAFFLE HOUSE!!!

I guess it’s good that we don’t have one in NY.

waffles rule!!!

We had a really nice time. I think we would go back again.
