Florida Vacation 2013 part III

The next morning, we slept in. Our lack of sleep finally caught up with us and it was glorious to not have to be up so early! We took our time getting ready and packed up because we would be checking into our resort that afternoon. 

I had heard great hints about the farmers market in downtown St. Pete by several different people, including one of my coworkers who used to live there. We ventured out to see what the hype was about. We loaded mr Milers in the BOB and headed to the park. 

Unfortunately we only had 20 minutes to browse, as our leisurely morning lead to closing time at the market! We wanted to check out the food trucks but unfortunately they had already packed up. We walked a couple of blocks and stumbled across an absolute GEM of a restaurant! Dooners is a fairly fast Greek place (think chipotle, only Greek!) and we had the best lunch of our vacation! I had the vegetarian hummus wrap and Jayson had the dooner sandwich. I have been raving about this meal ever since!! 

We devoured our meal so fast I couldn't even snap a pic! 

Our next stop was our resort. I called earlier that morning to request early check in since the normal time was 4pm. The desk staff said they would try their best. After Lunch, we headed to the resort, and upon arrival we found out that our room would not be ready for a few more hours. I was not a happy mama at this point! My baby needed a nap and we wanted to be settled in already!! They took my cell number and said they would call as soon as it became ready. To kill the time, we drove around and explored some more...we discovered our absolute FAVORITE spot of the trip...The Shake Shop!!!!! 

This photo doesn't even need words...

HOLY YUM!!!! The hilarious thing was, Jayson was waiting in line and I was sitting in the car reading yelp reviews of the place...and I texted him THIS with the caption "get me this"!!! 

After hitting send I heard his text alert go off and realized he had left his phone in the car. I shrugged it off....but then busted out laughing when he got back to the car holding that very dessert!!! :) you can say he knows me well!! 

We still haven't heard by the resort at this point so we went over to publix to grab some groceries for our stay. He waited in the car with baby miles as I ran in...I swear it seemed like blackfriday in there!! Lines were outrageous!! I waited 30 minutes JUST to check out!!! 

My phone STILL hadnt rang (now its 6:30)so we headed back to our hotel so I could TRY to hurry them along! After all, we were now at 21/2 hours PAST the check in time. Our room was finally ready around 7. We grouchily got ready for supper and asked the security officer in the guard shack for a recommendation. His choice was PHENOMENAL!!!!! 

MadFish looked like an old 50's diner from the outside, but inside it was really upscale and elegant! We shared oysters Rockefeller and decadent Cuban bread with an olive tamponade. I ordered the tzatziki triggerfish and J had a house special, fillet with a crab stuffed lobster tail. BOTH were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! 

Next up, Miles first beach experience!!!
