Mazzaro's Italian Market Restocking Trip

A must stop in St. Petersburg, FL is Mazzaro's Italian Market. It is a wonderful place to have lunch, then wander the aisles to see what new things you will discover...  

From fresh roasted coffee to the meat market, delicious deli selections, gourmet baked goods to handmade pastas and specialty cheeses, Mazzaro’s is more than a one-of-a-kind Italian gourmet market ....
 

 

Mazzaro's carries an amazing selection of hundreds of varieties of pastas - but it's their fresh pasta that steals the show

 

Ravioli,  Manicotti, Angel Hair, Fettuccini, Linguini.........

Ruskin, FL Tomatoes and More....

Our friend, Jimmy Booth, was our leader during our 2nd annual "Tomato Picking Trip"..

 

 

Also, stopped at a nursery along highway 41 in the Ruskin area with a great variety of healthy flowering plants and whirly-gigs.

Georgia Veteran's Memorial State Park on Lake Blackshear

Georgia Veteran's State Park is a state park located on Lake Blackshear in Crisp County, west of Cordele, Georgia. It was established in 1931 as a memorial to U.S. Veterans
 

Our stay here was during the week, which is quitter, so was able to get a nice lakeside site. 

 

 

 

 

The nice golf course was a draw for Ted, plus the great greens fees for veterans.
