A short getaway is very beneficial to our mental and emotional health. Our family thrives on weekend getaways because it boosts our creativity and our family bond. This time around, we ended up going to Clearwater/Saint Petersburg for a weekend getaway.
We stayed at a lovely cottage house in Clearwater which is only 32 steps from the beach.
In the morning we headed to Saint Petersburg to eat brunch and explore the lovely downtown. Kids really enjoyed the splashpads at the pier, so we spent most of our morning eating and splashing.
At the pier, there was a breakdancing show that we got to enjoy watching. I was even selected to participate in the show.
Afterwards, we headed back to Clearwater to spend some time at the beach. I absolutely love Clearwater Beach for numerous reasons but mostly because it's dog friendly and because of the vast sea animals one is able to find.
While in the water, Cici found a sea horse. She was so ecstatic for finding a living creature that is very difficult to find in the wild.
Oh, and the lovely sunsets!!! It was so majestic witnessing such a wonder.
In the morning, Cici and I went for a stroll at the beach to collect sea shells.
We found some very interesting finds.
