One of my closest girlfriends, Lindsay and I, along with our children, usually go away together for a week or two during the summer. This summer the plans to get away just didn't work out, so we created a "Stay-Cation" and did several sleep overs at each others homes and had a calendar of events filled with fun-packed days and a variety of activities that kept us busy all week long. At the end of the week, her fabulous husband (and my super, duper friend-in-law) Jason kept our five children (well, THEIR three and MY two... this is NOT an episode of "sister wives") all day long on Saturday while Linds and I cropped the day (and night!) away at the local scrapbook store.
During our scrapbook stay-cation day, we had dinner out at a local Asian diner called Pei Wei. Have you ever been? It's fabulous! (And they provide gluten free options for my girl, Linds!) While waiting for our food we were walking to the soda machine and noticed it was different from the last time we scrapped and dined on Asian cuisine. Different as in SERIOUSLY COOL! It looked like it could have been derived directly from a Jetson's episode. It has a touch screen and about a million options of soda, lemonade and tea. I might be exaggerating a tad about the million options, but it did have quite the variety. More than your average 8-option selection. For example, you have a hankering for Sprite... so you touch the Sprite logo. Then about 10-12 different flavored Sprite options are available for the choosing... diet Sprite, Sprite Zero, Raspberry Sprite, Strawberry Sprite, Orange Sprite, Grape Sprite, Root Beer Sprite... okay, I'm joking about the Root Beer Sprite, but you get the idea. Options previously UNKNOWN to us were now available for the choosing. Right at our fingertips!!
We played with it for awhile before I decided I MUST take a picture of us with our Jetson-esque discovery. (For the scrapbook of our Stay-Cation adventures, OF COURSE!)
And with all those choices in front of me, I still decided on which soda??? Any guesses??
