I’m glad I’ve got more to do with my life than this Ann, I’m a long time visitor to this site and enjoy reading stuff about our 2nd home. Guess if/when your child did not make a 100 on every test they took in school, you put him/her up for adoption……….

One of our employees just got back in town from attending “Bike Week” in PCB. He had nothing but wonderful things to say about this event and PCB.
He not only enjoyed seeing all the bikes and attractions he and his family enjoyed the good eats, Pier Park, shopping and the wonderful condo they stayed at.
Isn’t it great to receive such fantastic feed back from a visiting family that came to PCB on Bike Week.
🙂
Have a great day!
