Tropical Vacation

Can't you just hear the steel drums playing?

Smell the freshly folded towels!

See the crystal clear, blue water...

Remember to dive down deep, to hide from the paparazzi (that's what my kiddos call me now when they see me pulling out the camera).

Oh, a mother can dream, can't she? We were just hanging out at a local hotel pool today...don't ask. It was kind of relaxing though. I just needed a Pina Colada in hand, while I sat and gazed at the lovely scenery...oh, someday...

*A note about the crystal clear, blue water...my dinosaur of a monitor has bitten the dust, so I can't really see to edit any of my photos...ugh-tastic!

On the drive home, I stopped and took a picture of this strange, little beauty. It had me singing the song from Oklahoma! the rest of the way home. "All the world'll fly in a flurry, when I take you out in the surrey. When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!" Sorry kids, mama's gotta have her fun somehow!
