It’s tough to come from sunshine to snow!
My mom and I had the most amazing time in Florida. I’m so happy that we had the opportunity to spend time together in such a beautiful place! We stayed in St. Petersburg, Florida from March 1st-March 5th at Tradewinds Grand Island Resort.
I knew our trip was going to be amazing the second we got our rental car after our plane landed at the Tampa airport. We were supposed to get a basic rental car, likely a two door Chevy Aveo. The woman who was helping us asked if we were on a mother-daughter vacation and we said yes. She said “I’m going to hook you girls up!”
She definitely hooked us up. 
She upgraded us to a 2013 Mustang. That was pretty awesome.
The St. Petersburg area was experiencing a cold front while we were visiting.
Unfortunately, the highest the temperature was only about 65 degrees. But it was definitely refreshing coming from chilly Pittsburgh.
We still spent some time on the beach though! 
I can’t even describe how good it felt to wear flip flops for the first time in months!
I also got the opportunity to run on a local trail. 
We did a lot of fun things and saw some pretty cool sights, but my absolute favorite part of the trip was every moment I spent with my mom.
More photos to come in my next post… 🙂
