Hello, Spring! We’ve been soaking up the gorgeous weather and taking in all the great events this time of year brings. We had the pleasure of seeing Cirque du Soleil’s Bazzar at the Trop — if you are considering going, don’t wait any longer! It was our first time seeing a Cirque du Soleil performance in a tent, and wow, it was spectacular.
This month, we dig into the history beyond how St. Pete became “God’s Waiting Room”. Erica Sutherlin of @studio620 shares her story with us. You MUST check out her new line of bourbon. Also, this friendly and probably unwanted reminder; it’s tax season. Don’t stress if you’re running behind, Vernon and Vernon have you covered. Fifth Ave Pediatrics is taking the best care of kids, it’s where we bring our daughter. Read more about their practice and tips for keeping your kids healthy year-round. And for your furry kids, Maligators is here to help with training.
The events keep coming, with the Spring Festival and Easter Egg Hunt at the Pier, Paddy Fest at Williams Park, and more.
Enjoy!
Till next time,
Ashley & Tony
