Summertime and the living is…hot!

July 12, 2012

It’s summertime, so I went to the mall where it was cool and spied these J. Crew windows which made me hot and thirsty.

Time for a snowball.  Yes, that’s what we call them in the Big Easy; not snow cones.  Better still, load up the SUV and head out of town.

 

Whoa!  If that’s what it looks like loaded, you’re taking everything but the kitchen sink and I’m not going with you.  Let’s blow a wad and fly with just a carry-on, please.

If you’re going to DC and you can stand the heat, check into the new Hotel Rouge, near Dupont Circle where you’ll see their signature color (red) and all that it represents: “Passion, courage, energy, and fun.”  And HOT!

Hotel Rouge-DC

If you’re there on business that calls for courage and energy, you’ll have no trouble staying alert in either the Red Hot, Lava, or Blush meeting rooms.

When you’re ready for the fun and passion, check out the rooms with the crimson headboard.

Must speak to Ashley about adding crimson to Casart’s faux padded headboard options.  Ours are pretty sedate and tame.  The closest thing we have to passion is the plum

Ready to cool down?  Let’s head to the south of France to the Grand Hotel de Bordeaux to unwind in their spa.  Wow, they’ve done a major renovation since I was there last!

Love that full wall mural.  We’ve done that and can customize any size and subject you want!

Once you’re massaged and relaxed, head off to the elegant dining room for un diner.

Ooh la la!  Look at the chandeliers, the ceiling mural, the opulence!  Don’t look at l’addition!

Our ceiling mural won’t set you back as much as that meal, especially if you use Casart Light.

Still not cooled off?  This will surely do the trick.

Want something a little more private?  Then here’s the Star Infinity Pool Suite

All right, snap out of you day dreaming!  The only place we’re going is to get a snowball!

Mmmm, New Orleans snowballs-a real cooler offer! Photo-John McCusker

Now I feel 10 degrees cooler!
