Florida and Family.... Part Two

Today's post is our day on Friday.
After a little morning balcony time and getting dressed...Jenn, Paul. Liam and I headed down the street to Pier 60....we wanted to check it out...of course everything you read said it's a must see.
Going early also gave us the opportunity to see how wheelchair friendly it is since mom doesn't get around very good these days.
It's a pretty neat place if you have kids....here is Liam enjoy a swing ride....the also have all types of HUGE blow up bouncy things, water slides, bungee bounce and more...lots for kids to do. Liam loves to swing.
There were lots of volley ball and soccer games going on at the beach right at the pier.
Once we were done we went back to the hotel where Liam enjoyed another dip in the pool.
My brother came in around 4 from Jacksonville....so after visiting for awhile we all headed out to get a bite to eat and head back to the Pier. They had advertised that 2 hours before and after dusk they have vendors on the pier selling their homemade goods.
I forget the name of the restaurant ...it was nothing fancy but the food was good...well at least the Alaskan King Crab Jenn and I had...Yummy!
Here we were trying to keep Liam occupied before our came came...he tried a lemon....
sour face after biting into the lemon....
PRECIOUS!

Had to make another stop for Liam to get his swing in.

Along the pier....the sights were beautiful. My brother said this is an original Clearwater
hotel and is in all the postcards and such....it did make for a pretty picture.

Vendors and the crowd along the pier...sorry...they had nothing good to buy...bummer.

Then we headed back to the hotel to enjoy a beautiful sun set and visit

Well that is it for Thursday...wish I had more to report but so far it has been a very relaxing trip...I will post again later to sum up the rest of our trip.

Thursday or Friday? I am confused...but then again that's not hard to do today!

I love the picture of the resort. It looks like a giant sandcastle!

I agree, it did look like a giant sandcastle.

I hope you don't wait another 20 years to see everyone again.
