This is exactly what it sounds like. What better way is there to spend one of the remaining long summer Friday nights? I mean, we only get a few of them before we are back to school or work or the short days of winter. Not that I’m complaining that football is back on TV, but you know what I mean.
Tonight is the night. It’s still blazing hot here in Las Vegas, but once that sun goes down, the temperature is almost nice. I am going to go over to my good friends’ apartment complex pool, complete with hot tub, and we are just going to chill. But when we do, we do it in style. The party comes with us, music, entertainment, drinks and refreshments. We have it all.
I’m not just talking about drinks, which, of course, we will have because happy hour, obviously. We roll out a good spread. Those kid beach wagons make perfect meals on wheels or food set up. They come with cup holders for drinks, a divider not used in this case to keep kids apart, and are easy to tote thru the pool gate. Everything you need easily transported.
But what do we bring with us, you ask? Well, that is an easy question. Our unique brand of fun and crazy, a waterproof speaker, our travel wago, and oh yea, anything and everything you could have on a charcuterie board or a snack buffet and a mini-bar 🍸 😉
It’s hot, so we take a few thermoses filled with ice and our other tumblers with our pregame drinks. We grab a bottle of sprite, a thing of OJ or juice, a bottle of wine, and / or a bottle of vodka. We’ve added a cooler before, but pouring as needed with the ice is a lot easier than lugging a big cooler of ice.
All out for the snacks, too. Veggies and hummus, cheese and meats, chips, and salsa. We cooked up some Korean spare ribs and made a few quesadillas. Could have made up some bruschetta, but we got a little overboard. And last but not least, we had fresh fruit and m&ms as our sweet snacks. We think we take enough for us, but I kid you not, we probably can feed at least six people.
We are just out there trying to relax and enjoy the night. Good company, good drinks, good snacks. All the essentials 👌 I hope that you have a chance to enjoy a few more nights yourself. So cheers to you!!
