Found this picture and it expressed my fantasy world quite accurately. I mean, add some context to it. Imagine that right outside those doors is a beautiful swimming pool with comfy lounge chairs all the way around. And probably like a swim up bar or something along those lines.  And all of this is in sunny 85 degree weather. That's what I dream about. And whine about, and say i need. Just a week of it. But you know what? It's kind of depressing but perhaps I'm more of a realist than I like to admit. Because I know this fantasy world doesn't exist. If you go with kids, there is no laying out by the pool, sipping a beverage and relaxing. You go without the kids and you miss them and think how much they would love to be there. Not to mention you go home and they make you pay for having left them. So, now I'm left with no escape- not even a mental one! But at least Porter has his escape. This is him this summer in San Diego. Fell asleep on his coral themed pillows watching TV.

This picture on the other hand is real and does exist and is heavenly! I received this edible arrangement a couple months ago and every single piece of fruit on there was simply perfect. The pineapples dipped in chocolate may have received extra points, but come on- add chocolate to anything and it's going to top the rest.
