It was a great time to take advantage of some of the lowest rates we’ve seen in years. Even though this beach is not affected by the oil, many patrons have shied away. It made a great deal and great fun for us!!!!

I took the photo above on June 19, 2010 while we walked along St. Pete Beach.

As we were driving to our hotel we passed the St. Pete Beach Chamber of Commerce and after dropping off Kathy, Anna, and Sammy, I headed back and met their staff. After loading up on the brochures and other information it was time to play. Will be sharing the information with you soon.
