Daughter In A Pinch

For something a little different tonight, get ready for the classy nightlife experience that is Bobby's Bistro and Wine Bar. Located a block from the beach, this is an extension of Bobby Heilman's main restaurant and offers delicious a la carte dining in four separate dining rooms. The wine bar is the obvious highlight, as its extensive inventory includes more than 20,000 bottles. The menu is equally impressive, featuring such delicious fare as sherry garlic shrimp, a half-rack of JamAsian baby back ribs and gourmet pizzas.

Don't let the small size of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium fool you. This highly interesting attraction is very big on ensuring the survival of marine life in the area. While offering visitors the chance to see marine fauna, the aquarium also is a facility in which injured animals go through an extensive rehabilitation process before returning to their natural habitats. Visitors learn about ecology and how important it is to respect the wildlife that inhabit it. Some of the creatures that you'll see here include sharks, otters, dolphins, and stingrays. Stop into the gift shop while you're here, as the proceeds from your purchase go to help fund this non-profit organization.

Sharing time together is a truly essential ingredient to keeping that romantic flame burning. It also doesn't hurt to raise a glass to your love with the help of a fine bottle of wine. Take that idea a step further when you plan a special date to the Murielle Winery. This family-owned winery offers guided tours that show visitors all aspects of the wine-making process from the vineyard to the wine press to the bottle. Also, there are wine tastings held on Saturdays, so plan to make the trip to Murielle Winery this weekend for a romantic date that is worthy of a toast!
