Where to even begin – Thinking back on our four short days in St. Pete makes me nostalgic for the warm salty air, clear waters, and white sandy beaches (a little dramatic I know….). St Pete is one of the most beautiful places I have been. It really is hard to describe the area – downtown is a gorgeous clean city on the waterfront with tons of restaurants and shops lining the Tampa Bay, and just 15 minutes west are miles upon miles of some of the most gorgeous beaches in the United States. I instantly fell in love…
Myles and I took a late flight after work Friday and landed in Tampa around midnight. We really had no itnerary for this trip, other than to explore the area (no plans sometimes are the best of plans). After picking up our rental car and arriving at our hotel, we crashed hard…
This bag is a must have for travel! Even better, purchase one and receive $50 to shop later!
Saturday we woke up bright and early ready for the day ahead. Myles and I walked around the area for a good 1.5 hours before picking up Starbucks (venti – cold brew is my newest addiction!) and packing up the rental. We ended up driving to downtown St. Pete first and exploring the area…… After a lot more walking we found our way to Sea Critters restaurant near St Pete beach and OMG this place was incredible. Not only was the seafood amazing (the best fresh shrimp <3), but it was right on the water – you can park your boat at the dock which is so cool and totally on my bucket list!

After eating way too much seafood, we decided to take a walk along St. Pete beach which was just across the street. The weather seriously couldn’t have been more perfect…..
At this point we were tired (so much walking…) so we went back to the hotel to relax a bit and take a dip in the pool before getting ready for dinner! Once again, we had zero plans, other than to catch the sunset ….. We got dressed up (so much Lilly to chose from <3) and headed back to the beach to watch the sun go down. The sunset over the gulf that night was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen – I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves….
Stay tuned for part 2….
XOXO,
