There's nothing quite like a case of the blues. It's no fun when you have it alone, but when you get together with fellow blues enthusiasts at the annual Knology Sea-Blues Festival, the blues are most definitely worth celebrating. The two day festival, usually held in May, features a variety of regionally and nationally recognized blues artists. This event is free to the public.

Many people yearn for the good old days when things were simpler. Instead of yearning for them, you can actually travel back to them when you visit Heritage Village. In the wake of fast-moving progress, there were several buildings in Pinellas County slated for demolition. Luckily, these places were saved and moved to this location which features two dozen structures that include a store, a church, a school, an outhouse and several private residences from yesteryear that are still very much a part of today.

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!
