Girls Getaway to St Petersburg Beach

Ali and I took a quick getaway to St Petersburg Beach over the Memorial Day weekend. We ended up in Pass-A-Grille, a small beachside community in the area. We arrived on Saturday in time for lunch at The Brass Monkey. With a view of the ocean, we dined upstairs on the outdoor deck. After my delicious entree of Monkey Balls (crab cakes), we made our way to the beach to soak up some sun.
Once we retuned to downtown St Pete, we ate dinner at Red Mesa Cantina. With a pitcher of white sangria, we tried the assortment of tacos. I loved the Ahi Tuna Taco! We then hung out upstairs at Push, which has three levels (one hang out bar, one nightclub and one rooftop bar area).
Sunday was another beach day. After some more R&R, we grabbed a late lunch at The Wharf where I inhaled my one dozen raw oysters and some much-needed water. With our energy drained from the sun, we said our goodbyes and headed home.
It just goes to show that even a quick girls getaway is often just what we need to "Leave Your Baggage at Home® and help us unwind.
