Nonprofit In Pinellas Needs Baby Supplies After Idalia
Nonprofit In Pinellas Needs Baby Supplies
A nonprofit in Pinellas needs baby supplies after Idalia. So many of the business in and around the Tampa Bay area were hit after Idalia came through. If you would like to help out, here is one that we wanted to highlight.
Hurricane Idalia tore into Florida, leaving flooding waters, splitting trees in half, ripping roofs off hotels and turning small cars and boats before heading into Georgia and South Carolina. It continued to be a powerful storm that flooded roadways and sent residents running for higher ground in Tampa and throughout the northern counties in Florida.
After coming ashore, Idalia made landfall near Keaton Beach at 7:45 a.m. as a high-end Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 125 mph. The system remained a hurricane as it crossed into Georgia with top winds of 90 mph. It weakened to a tropical storm by late Wednesday afternoon, and its winds had dropped to 60 mph by Wednesday night.

5 Florida Cities Named Best Babymoon Destinations
If you are looking for a quick getaway to savor the invaluable moments of sleeping in, or going out to dinner, you may want to consider staying within the Bay State. Sixt recently published the 20 best destinations for a babymoon in the United States, and five Florida cities made the list.
“When you’re expecting, many couples want to plan one last vacation or adventure before their baby arrives to enjoy time together, just the two of them,” Sixt explains. They also detail how their data has shown, “Searches for ‘affordable babymoon destinations’ have increased by 300% in the past twelve months. Similarly, search trends for ‘what is a babymoon’ have soared by 250%.”
To determine the best places in the country to take a babymoon, Sixt identified six different categories. They then used these topics to examine each city. As a result, they assigned a score and totaled them up. The categories were; happiness, safety, leisure activities, scenic views, friendliness, food, and drink.
What Exactly Is A Babymoon?
Being able to eat uninterrupted and with both hands will soon be considered a luxury. A babymoon is all about relaxation and spending quality time together. “This is a great opportunity to celebrate the new adventures on the way while taking care of yourself and your own needs,” Healthline explained in their recent “What Is a Babymoon?” story.
“For the most memorable experience, try to plan a babymoon when you feel your best, which for many women is during their second trimester,” Healthline states when discussing when to take a babymoon.
In Florida, the five destinations that ranked among the top 20 places to go for a babymoon are all very different from each other. Sixt ranked Kissimmee as the 2oth best babymoon destination, and Miami came in at number nineteen. Three other Florida locations made the top twenty, with two landing in the top 10.
