Normally, Saturday Snap is a pic I’ve taken but I came across this on social media and decided to post it…
We’ve been fortunate to do a winter holiday for the past few years so now that we’re into February, it’s starting to hit me that this won’t be happening this year (doesn’t help that we’re in a stretch of -40 weather right now either!)
Anyhow, that made me think of ways you could simulate a tropical vacation without leaving your house:
- if you have a jetted tub, put on your bathing suit and pretend you’re floating in the ocean waves. (Bonus if you can fit in other family members!)
- pile your plate high with 3x more tacos than you can possibly eat, all ordered from a local restaurant
- buy a bottle of tequila and make some tropical drinks (bonus if you drink a tequila sunrise in the morning with your omelette)
- try to convince yourself that the snow outside the window is sand
- have typical all-inclusive resort music playing in the background as soon as you wake up until you go to bed at night (for added reality, turn it up a lot louder in the evening when you’re trying to fall asleep).
- cook at least one seafood meal (rip up a $50 bill if you choose lobster considering it a “surcharge” even though resorts are otherwise all-inclusive)
- put a “Coconut” scented air freshener in your dining room (and a “unidentified humid musty smell” in your bedroom)
- instead of beach volleyball, play “living room knees-only sock toss”
- Move your beer fridge from your basement to your bedroom and stock it with exactly two beers, two cokes, two sprites and two bottle of water. Forget to refill it after the first day)
- put a 10 hour video of a beach scene in the background of your smart TV. (Have box of tissues nearby.)
