Tarpon Springs Away from all the hustle and bustle of Tampa and away from the busy, touristy gulf beaches is the quaint little city of Tarpon Springs, Florida. Stepping into this town is like going back in time and into an old Greek harbor town busy with shops and smells of kabobs floating in the air. It all started […]
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 […]

Written by Ashley: Nisheet and I decided to move to Florida around the same time the Blackhawks crushed the Lightening (sorry TB…maybe next year), so when I googled “Chicago vs Tampa Bay”, the first 10 pages of results were all about hockey. Now that we have lived here for a few weeks, we have come up […]
Written by Ashley: We did it. We actually did it. We made the big move from the Midwest to Florida. It was a big headache moving 2 apartments in 2 different states 1,225 miles south, but it could have been a lot more stressful. The movers for both apartments did all the work while we stood […]
Platte River On our last day of our Sleeping Bear camping trip, rain looked promising. We didn’t let it stop us though. We grabbed our rain jackets, rented a kayak, and paddled down the Platte River. It was crowded! I can’t imagine how busy it gets on a sunny day during peak season (near the […]
Old Mission Peninsula On the 2nd full day of our Sleeping Bear Dunes Camping trip, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so we opted to go for a winery bike tour (self guided) on the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City.
