Don’t Labor This Weekend - Take A Virtual Vacation In Ann-Ventures

Challenging circumstances, uncertain times and plenty of stress and not enough self-care. I get it. so if your Labor Day Weekend finds you staying close to home that’s perfectly understandable. If you’re lucky enough to have a great neighborhood that’s planning a few backyard cookouts, that’s a nice alternative to crowded beaches and parks. Or maybe you’re up for a little road trip to see how the beauty of our state - and how the old Florida is still there.

Road trips are what I’m all about in Ann-Ventures and over the past few months I’ve found some wonderful places to check out for you when you’re ready. You know my love for parks, old Florida destinations and the perfect places to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. I’ve even driven friends 200 miles in search of shark teeth. Enjoy my gallery of favorites!

But there are plenty of things to do for the weekend, including the Cuban Sandwich Festival where they will go for the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest Cuban sandwich. You can enjoy the sights for free but of course pay for your food and beverages. It takes place Sunday from 12:30-4:30 pm at Centro Asturiano at 1913 N Nebraska Ave.

Like your entertainment on the fast and furious side, but on the water? There’s the St Pete Powerboat Grand Prix in Downtown St Pete Friday through Sunday. Check here for the best places to watch the races like the St Pete Pier, and don’t forget to support local vendors, and bring the sunscreen. If you run out the city has sunscreen dispensers on the Pier.

Chill out at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the “Dolphin Tale” movie. If you can’t make it this weekend they’ll be celebrating all month long. Here’s what you need to know.

Busch Gardens Bier Fest is also underway on Sunday, Friday, Saturday until through October 31st. Follow the Beer Trail, enjoy a cool one and celebrate responsibly.

Don’t forget if you’re flying out of Tampa International Airport you can now reserve parking. I like easy. And don’t forget to let me know about your happy places by sending an email to ann.kelly@gmail.com!
