Sail Away

Monday, June 20, 2011

With our little vacation just over a week away, I have to sit on my hands to avoid obsessively Googling "Hotel Secreto", where we'll be celebrating a very special anniversary! Pretty dreamy, right? What have you been up to this weekend?

In honor of all the fantasizing I've been doing about tropical vacations, a lush shade of watermelon will be all over La Petite Coquin this week; get ready for some seriously delicious inspiration, including a watermelon cocktail I'm already dreaming about!
