We've enjoyed watching the preparations for the St. Petersburg Grand Prix for several years now. Until this year, the race has always been several weeks later, so we've always been on our way home, or home already, on the day of the race. This year we will be in St. Pete Beach for the race, so we could go to the race if we wanted to do so.
We were in St. Petersburg today and much of the downtown area is already blocked off for a full weekend of activities. The main even is Sunday, on a street course near the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront. The party atmosphere includes live entertainment and the opportunity to meet a number of celebrity athletes.
I've always kind of wanted to go to a car race, but I think it might get tedious after a while and it would certainly be too noisy for my sensitive ears. Years ago, I enjoyed hearing the roar of engines many miles away on Montreal Grand Prix day. Maybe I'll hear them this weekend on St. Pete Beach, 10 miles from the course.

About Me
- Catherine Hennessey
- The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
