Overview, St. Petersburg, Florida (August, 2009)

 
With only limited time to be away from work we decided to take a late August vacation.  The beach sounded like just the ticket and with direct service on Allegiant Air from Springfield we decided on the St. Petersburg / Tampa Bay area.

We thought the last week in August would help cut down on some of the crowds (since schools were starting back up) and from what we can tell that is a good assumption.

The weather turned out to be awesome with the highs in the mid to upper 80's and heat indexes in the mid 90's.  (That's about 10 degrees off from about a month earlier.)  There was the typical Florida weather of afternoon thunderstorms but we were able to work around them all four days we were there.
