Clearwater Beach, Florida-2nd Annual

for the month of february, Chris' parents and grandparents rent a house in clearwater beach, florida.  they invite us down for a visit, we gladly accept and enjoy a fabulous long weekend in the sun making memories with family!  here's a glimpse of our trip:

our favorite drink from one of our favorite places:

the Cava-Rita from Clearwater Wine Co.

the new-found candy store! 

Chris with papa and grandma at Shepherd's 

we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets over the gulf of Mexico

another treat of visiting Clearwater/Tampa: spending time

with Chris' cousin Beth and her boyfriend Josh (he's just a LITTLE guy)

another favorite activity is visiting John's Pass, a 

touristy area with shops and resturants

enjoying the BEST tacos and wings in Florida at The Hut

we made a pit-stop at The Pub

papa and Chris fishing

probably the absolute favorite place in Clearwater Beach: FRENCHY'S 

which sits right on the beach overlooking the ocean

watching the sun go down while waiting for our food at Frenchy's

the dolphins swam right up to our dock to catch their breakfast!  

needless to say they ruined the fishing for the rest of the day!
