Philippe Park is a gem among the Pinellas County parks, as much for its history as for its stunning views of Upper Tampa Bay. More than a thousand years ago, the Tocobaga tribe recognized the location's unique attributes and created their largest and most important village here. The ceremonial mound still stands, still offering amazing views of the bay.

If you're also injury prone, or out of shape, or have a young family, or don't have much time, or are older, or for whatever reaso...

      It closed back in the '90s. The park is beautiful, though the City of Clearwater has made a big effort to restore it to a more natural habitat. I hope you get a chance to see next time you're in Clearwater.

After postponing it for a year, the bride and groom had the wedding they wanted, with family and friends. Like always, the near mishaps make for fun anecdotes afterwards, as you well know. I shared a few photos with your mom and will subject you all to a few more.
