Just like the Willie Nelson song, we're on the road again. Although we enjoyed being back in Jacksonville again, it was TOO cold! So we moved further south to Tampa for a week to thaw out before beginning our trek out West. It's been nice getting together with our friends and former coworkers in this area, some of whom it's been years since we've seen. And we've had a chance to look up some of our old favorite haunts.
We revisited the St. Petersburg Pier this week on a beautiful, sunny Florida afternoon. It brought many memories from way back. My Uncle Sidney sailed his boat from Bradenton to the Pier and our families got together there when I was in high school. The first pier was called the Million Dollar Pier and opened in 1926. It was totally rebuilt and reopened in 1973. You can actually drive out onto the pier and shop or dine in it's five stories on the waterfront. This inverted pyramid is truly a St. Petersburg landmark.
