The Goths live in a fabulous little community, Pass-a-Grille that is just south of St. Petersburg Beach. It's just south of the the real heavy duty touristy area. I really, really don't like Florida and was not looking forward to this trip. But the area they live in and their home are like a isolated beach community.
The beach hotels on the strip of St. Petersburg beach just north of Pass-a-Grille were very pricy (this being the 4th of Juy weekend even though it is off-season). But we got a great deal on a Hilton in the downtown area (53 bucks a night on Hotwire!)
The cleaning people left us personal notes.
And they did this for my razor. Pretty cool huh!

Trying to get a shot of A is a challenge because he is always in motion.

Look at that calm demeanor that comes from working a full time management job, a big time gig in the Air Force Reserves and raising a family.

I was in full grandpa mode. The minute we got out of the car C and J and I dashed ahead. I saw this ice cream place, an even though it was 10:30, we were in like a dash. There were no restritions and J ordered Cookie Monster ice cream with these consequences.

AND THEN WE FOUND OUT THE HORRIBLE TRUTH - THIS FAMILY ARE ALIENS.
We examined J's head when the parents were not looking and found this
If you look closely you will see - IT'S STAPLED! THERE IS SOME KIND OF MECHANICAL IMPLANT IN THERE!
STAY TUNED FOR MORE OF THE SHOCKING TRUTH!

What a great vacation you are having. ou are a good grandfather. The ice cream at 10:30am, especially the cookie monster blue, is a nice touch.
Wow... I'm soooo jealous!! I want to live there. It's beautiful.
Ooh looks like a fun trip! I"m jealous of the ice cream!!
I could be very happy in Florida. I can't believe you didn't offer to take all of us with you! Looks like everyone is having a fantastic time!
You didn't tell me it was 10:30Am for the ice cream! Ai yi yi. Well you have figured out the way to your grandchildren's hearts for sure.
I have a Pass-a Grille blog also. It is great being in this area as you and the family found out. The beach, the intercoastal waterway, the restaurants, fishing and just hanging out. It doesn't get any better. I live in Sarasota and we have nothing that compares to Pass-a-Grille. All the best to you and the family.
