DEBBIE HORNSTEIN and CHRIS HANDLER’S WEEKEND GETAWAY We took a wonderful trip to the west coast as always this time of year. Opening baseball game for the Tampa Bay Rays! We started in a town called Dunedin with a scenic trolly ride, then went to beautiful Clear- water then to St. Petersburg. Bike rode through the city, went to Sunken Gardens, and off to the game way in time for the first pitch. After the game had drinks at The Canopy overlooking Tampa Bay and dinner and hung out at the funky Hollander hotel where we stayed. The next stop was Sarasota which really took us for a surprise at how cosmopolitan it was and so much to do. We “segwayed” around for 2 hours then went to St. Armond circle and back to rooftop of the Artovation hotel where we did picasso and prosecco! Day 4 was all about the circus! 66 acres of Ringling Brothers sites and information that was overwhelming and 4 hours was not enough! We are great travel companions, last year we went to Savannah, Charleston, Annapolis, and Westhampton- all in 4 days! Below are some pictures of our trip.

Stone behind the girls is the Sunken Growing Stone– a fertilized limestone rock found in the center of the sinkhole lake which formed the gardens. Legend says,”He who sits upon the ancient stone shall be granted tranquility, inner harmony and the talent to make things grow.”
