Petersburg means that the temperatures are still in the 80s
My mother and I travel all the time for concerts. Typically we check Tampa, Florida since they have a nice venue. It sucks driving there since it is three hours. Also, that city doesn’t really have much to do. I then got a brain blast. Why not St. Petersburg? They are right near Tampa and must have big concerts there. In St. Petersburg it is more beach oriented too. I found a great concert coming up and I surprised my mother for her b day. We ended up getting a hotel room that was both on the beach, but walking distance to the concert venue. We saw the concert one day and ended up lingering in St. Petersburg since there was so much to do. Laying on the beach takes a full day in my opinion. Then there is shopping, golf, massages, walking through the city, trying out the local restaurant, the list goes on. I would say my favorite part was the time of year we went. The two of us went during the fall season. People started to say goodbye to the tourist season. The snowbirds were just starting to think about coming to Florida. My mother and I timed it where basically we were the only ones in the hotel room. Late in the fall season in St. Petersburg means that the temperatures are still in the 80s. We still had to use the hotel air conditioner the entire trip. It was that hot but totally comfortable where we were staying. I will do that again for sure.
