Groceries
Publix Super Market at Bardmoor Promenade
10801 Starkey RdThis is a reasonably priced grocery store that does carry a lot of organic products. They have a brand of their own and great produce. The selection of cheese is great too. Save some money and shop here for really good quality. What you can’t find here in organics you can head to the near by Whole Foods for.

This park has the absolute best play ground in the County. Just outside it is an outdoor workout station. On the property is a preforming arts center and they have outdoor concerts in the fall months. Plus a lot more! I recommend looking at their website’s events

Bok Tower Gardens
I love this place! Don’t go on Sunday as they don’t do the live concert and that’s an amazing experience you won’t want to miss. They do have a children’s area but kids might get bored wondering around with you.

Safety Harbor is a wonderful quaint town on the bay. They often have events and is best known for its spa resort. You can get a day pass and enjoy their mineral spring fed pool, hot tub, sauna and gym. I have often gone just to have a relax day, sometimes treating myself to a massage then a stroll downtown and a meal. So many awesome restaurants to choose from!
