Breakfast Jet and a Pup Cup Dessert

Great sunset on St. Pete Beach tonight, but the sky reminds me of Missile Command a bit. Looking at this photo I feel like the hotel on the right is my last base and it’s about to go under!

We picked up Culver’s for dinner tonight, at Jake’s request. I was happy to see a relatively short line at the drive-through compared to the crazy line at the new Culver’s in Toledo.

We went for ice cream after dinner tonight. Our usual (and favorite) Larry’s was bit crowded, which gave us a little pause, so we opted for the less-crowded Sprinkles, which we haven’t visited in probably over a decade.

Good ice cream and, bonus, they gave Teddy his own scoop–a vanilla pup cup! It was his first experience with ice cream. No surprise that he loved it; he even licked my cup clean after I was done.

Bringing Teddy on our trips down here might force us to rethink our ice cream routine a bit.

We had breakfast at The Hangar restaurant at Albert Whitted Airport this morning, always one of our favorite things to do while in St. Pete. Jake is always in absolute heaven while we’re there. I’m sure he wishes he was flying, but I think he has almost as much fun plane-spotting.

There was quite a bit of action today, too. We watched them pre-flight this Pilatus PC-24, which Jake educated us on a bit. Pretty cool to see one of these in person–private jet rated for off-road landings, not that they needed that today.

Half way through breakfast we watched it takeoff. Looks like it was flying some couple to West Palm Beach.
