Fort de Soto It was a long labor day weekend and we had all of Sunday to spare so I thought it be neat to check out a local park. A quick google search of nearby points of attractions yielded a very well reviewed park called Fort De Soto Park which happens to be the largest […]
Sunken Gardens I was browsing through Groupons the other day and came across one for the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg. It looked kinda fun and since we had nothing else going on, we decided to get the Groupon and check out the gardens. It isn’t what you think as the name might imply. The […]
Written by Ashley When we decided to move to Florida, we had no idea where we wanted to stay. I had only passed through Tampa Bay a handful of times (took a cruise out of the Tampa Port, flew into the airport on my way to a friend’s wedding, flew into the airport on the […]
Written by Ashley: Over the weekend, Nisheet and I decided to check out the Saturday Morning Market in St. Petersburg. We had heard a lot of good things about it including a co-worker of Nisheet’s who said “I hate going there because my wife spends soo much money there.” I took that to mean it […]

Now that we have lived here for a few weeks, we have come up […]

Written by Nisheet: Since the forecast for today called for the quintessentially Florida 80 F weather, I decided to get up extra early for some Tampa Bay exploring. A friend back home had told me to check out the city of Tarpon Springs for the most authentic Greek food and sponges so that’s where I […]
Written by Nisheet: What’s the first thing you do if you have to fly from Michigan to Tampa Bay in the dead of winter? Go to da beach, of course! After landing in Tampa at 5pm, I was pleasantly greeted with the 70F temps which was almost the double the temps that I had experienced just […]
The Last Shuttle Launch Nisheet and I were lucky enough to travel to Florida to see the last shuttle launch. My good friend Allison is amazing and got us onto the space center and patiently answered a million of our questions about the shuttle. Allison and her fiancé, Pete, also let us stay at their […]
