...you got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on Baby...

Sometimes, no, lots of times, I think it would be nice to live someplace where summer lasts for more than just two short months...

No, I haven't actually been anywhere lately.
These pictures are from four years ago when I was on a business trip and just happened to have a free weekend in Miami Beach.
I just figured that since I don't have much else to post about right now plus the fact that I don't really recall telling anyone much about this trip at the time, I might as well use these pictures for a sort of end-of-summer post now.

It was hot, humid (in the best kind of way) and just all around tropical there. Even the rain was warm...
(Yes I realize it's so not raining in this picture but I was just sayin' when it did, it was.)

I stayed at the Ramada..... and this ain't it!

I got to see a Champcar (Indycar) race there as well. Talk about good timing. Ultimate awesomeness!

I'm definitely looking forward to my next "blue sky holiday"... whenever that may be.

P.S. I began this entry with the simple intention of posting my own personal favorite end-of-summer song and leaving it at that. After doing that though, my previous (and month old) "Breaking Dawn" post was still right up there with it (seemingly refusing to give up the number one spot and begin its journey downward into blog oblivion) so I decided to look for a couple of photos to add just to push BD out of the picture a little farther. Then I realized I would have to add explanation for the pictures and then came the addition of the DJ Sammy version of Boys of Summer and it all just kind of got away from me. Oh well.

Also, I just realized that neither I nor anyone else I know is in any of the pictures so who's to say I didn't just pull them randomly off the internet and then made up the whole went-to-Miami story. The fact that both versions are plausible is proof, though unintentionally and accidentally provided, of a heretofore unmentioned yet ultimately inescapable lameness which, I admit, did indeed loom over the entire adventure. I'm not saying it wasn't awesome. I'm just saying that I am perfectly aware that it could have been SO much better.
