My SIL and my niece arrived Wednesday for a week. When Susan is here, she has a list. She wants to hit her favorite restaurants, has to see the beach and the sunset at least once, and must have her picture taken with any palm trees.
She got three in the first full day.
This time, my niece had a list. She loves exploring coffee shops, and she loves foxes, and she'd found this place in Cortez that had both. So, on Friday, we took a road trip.
The weather was lovely, and the drive was under two hours long. The Fox Mercantile was super cute. Upon entrance is the shop. It sells homewares, local jewelry, and other accessories, usually with a fox theme. A small coffee/tea area with small snacks is at the back of the shop, and there is an outdoor area with native plants and trees for a tropical oasis vibe, scented by fragrant jasmine vines.
From there, we ventured downtown and had breakfast, and heading home, we stopped in downtown St. Petersburg, where we wandered and had tea at another little coffee shop Gabs wanted to visit.
It was a lovely day, and for us, something new.
