Boasting a collection of more than 14,000 objects, the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg covers almost 5,000 years of civilization and art from every part of the globe. The MFA includes masterpieces from Monet, Rodin, O’Keeffe, De Kooning and others, a sculpture garden, glass gallery and photography collections. Upcoming exhibits include a display of American quilts circa 1800-1930 (through Jan. 23, 2022) and art photography of the 1970s (through April 3, 2022). mfastpete.org Go West at the James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, which captivates guests with its stellar collec-

ULELE

This Tampa rooftop lounge only opens in the late afternoon and does not offer reservations, so plan to arrive early to secure a spot near the edge or a larger table for your group. The trendy bar offers tropically inspired cocktails with fresh ingredients and light bites and is situated in a perfect location to view the sunset, atop of one of Tampa’s hottest food halls, Armature Works.

If viewing the sunset is a family affair, Ulele is the place to be. Opt for the outdoor patio, where you can let your kids be kids. While you wait for Charbroiled Oysters, Alligator Hush Puppies and Gouda Grouper, wet your whistle with the Wedding Beer, a Ulele Spring Brewery original, and take in sunset views overlooking the Hillsborough River.

TRAVELING WITH PETS •Get up-to-date vet records and keep them in a folder on your person; you may be asked to produce these at any time (the rabies vaccination record is an absolute must).

•Line your pet’s carrier with a comfy blanket or pad and bring along a favorite toy; make sure they’ve relieved themselves before loading them in.

•If you’re traveling to an unfamiliar area, ask your vet to recommend a vet in that location. Research the pet ERs in the area as well.

•Fill a backpack with necessities such as pee pads, poop bags, paper plates, plastic bowls and wet food (must follow the liquids rule for carry-ons) when traveling by plane. If traveling by car, bring cats a disposable litter box for every day of the trip.

•Have your pet microchipped.

Be sure to provide two current phone numbers as your contact information and upload a photo of your pet.

•Make sure your pet wears a collar and tag imprinted with your name and phone number, as well as a temporary travel tag with your destination phone.

•Ask your vet if sedatives are an option for your pet.

•Make sure your hotel accepts pets, and call ahead to verify the pet policy. When you arrive, inform them about your pet and ask about the nearest relief areas.

•Always keep the “do not disturb” sign on your hotel room door when your pet is out of its carrier.

•Keep your pet in its carrier any time you are not in your hotel room, but if you know you’re going to be in petfriendly areas, take them along.

FOLLOW OUR ADVICE FOR A SMOOTH TRAVEL EXPERIENCE FOR PETS AND THEIR PARENTS

•If traveling by plane, book a direct flight whenever possible. Unless your pet is small enough to ride under your seat, it’s best to avoid air travel with your pets.

•Check with the airlines far in advance to see if they have any species and breed restrictions.

•Know the regulations for traveling with support animals.

•Never leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle, no matter what the weather.

•Be a responsible pet parent and always clean up after your pet.
