On Saturday we drove to St. Petersburg, Florida and found a place to park downtown. We started out on foot and walked to North Shore Park along the waterfront, where they have these incredible banyan trees.
In the park there was a big holiday fair for the children.
The police had one of their assault vehicles on display for the kids to examine.
Kids of all ages were enjoying looking at the vehicle and grilling the policemen about its cost (about a quarter of a million dollars, fyi).
There was even a sledding hill with real snow that was set up just for the day!
After grabbing lunch at a nearby farmers market we headed out on our bikes to check out some of the Pinellas Loop Trail.
The part going through downtown was soon closed, so we turned back and biked along the waterfront.
We saw a couple of these tiki bar pontoon boats returning to the marina after a day on the water.
We checked out the public pier area, which is huge!
Several people were fishing and otherwise enjoying the end of the pier.
There is even a shuttle to take people from one end of the pier to the other because it is so big.
We continued north along the waterfront.
We saw all these sailors bringing their sailboats in after a nice day on the water.
We continued past all the waterfront parks to the residential areas where people had private docks.
Lots of docks had sustained damage from the last hurricane, and many palm trees along the waterfront were being supported like the one pictured here.
We saw this rhinoceros statue (dressed as a pilgrim?) in somebody's front yard - what the heck?!
After a nice bike ride, we ended the evening with dinner, drinks, and pinball at Voodoo Brewing Co.
