Swimming Along.......

This weekend, the BF & I celebrated our anniversary by relaxing & sipping cocktails at the beautiful Radisson roof-top pool.  Because the only way we know how to celebrate is by gettin half nekkid & slammin back as much alcohol as we can......






I highly, highly, highly, reccomend it; especially if you cant swing a vacation right now. I normally cant stand public pools, but with the Radisson's high cover charge (Friday-Sunday $35/Monday-Thursday $25), the riff-raff is kept out and its much cleaner than most.  Word of advice: get there early beause by 2pm there wasn't an available lounge chair in sight!
Its on the 5th floor, so it offers spectacular views of the city:




Because its a hotel, it offers pool-side food & drink service...which TOTALLY added to the relaxing vibe of actually being on vacation!  The wait-staff were so friendly & accomodating.  Naturally, we completely indulged:

The Menu
We started with caesars: savoury & spicy.....
......then I moved on to the sweetness of strawberry daquiris!
Sliders....not bad but a bit over-cooked.
Chicken burrito with sweet potato fries (they get major point for using Fleur de Sel on the fries)
The pepperoni pizza was my fave.....sometimes simple & basic is best!


I RELISHED the chance to use all my summery beachy swag:

1.  A bright romper is the perfect swimsuit cover-up:
2.  Pool-side essentials:
a) limited edition Louis Vuitton Ambre beach bag
b) spray on sun-screen 
c) a best-selling book that you MUST read before Hollywood releases the movie version (The Help by Kathryn Stockett)

3.  A bright turquoise bikini (only $18 from Old Navy!)
