Bonnie dropped Amy and I off at St. Petersburg beach and took the littles to a science museum today. This was our first time at a beach on the gulf side of Florida. The beach was gorgeous! But what we didn't realize was how much the gulf minimized the waves. If there was a 2-foot wave the whole time we were there, I'd be surprised. The water was beautiful, but we got a bit bored pretty quick.

First siting of dolphins
They swam right under our boat
Cool view under a bridge
Then four more dolphins, including a baby, in very shallow water near sand dollar island!
We found a number of sand dollars, most broken, as well as some other shells. We also just enjoyed playing in the gorgeously clear water!
A couple sand dollars we came up with.
So it seems the gulf-side of Florida is a trade-off... small waves but gorgeously clear water and marine life!
