Our recent trip fell over my birthday, and to celebrate, I actually *gasp!* had a regular-sized glass of red wine – first since Christmastime. By the way, the baby just kicked me as I write this so I haven’t done any damage, puritanical Americans. All is safe.
The dinner treat, along with sitting by the pool on vacation and not being able to order an adult beverage, reminded me how much I miss having a well-crafted mixed drink. Not a crappy rum and coke in a plastic cup at a shady bar in a strip mall, but a properly-blended, creative, sipping drink or glass of wine. I’m talkin’ high class, people. High class.
So I did what any girl would do who can’t drink the pretty mai-tais they have at the free (FREE, goddamnit!) evening reception in the hotel: I took photos instead. In honor of being really proud of one particular shot, which I think turned out really well, here’s a collection of images to drool over. Slurp!
