Warm tropical breezes, sandy beaches, and a piña colada milkshake-does it get any better than this?
Sometimes, I make myself a Piña Colada Happy Hour Milkshake on a cold winter's day and take a mental vacation someplace sunny and warm. Put on some tropical music, and you'll convince yourself you're smelling the salty sea air and looking up at cloudless blue skies.
