Ahhhh....after waking up late and enjoying a leisurely breakfast cooled by the breeze that brings you the first glimpse of another relaxing day of vacation, I slather on the sunscreen and head to the beach.  Today, I choose to forsake the book, the volleyball, and the tanning in favor of building an empire.

However, the construction of this empire is far more soothing than any you have ever imagined.  The feel of the grains of sand running through your hands as you sweat due more to the heat of the sun than the toil of labor is therapeutic.  The sight of your buildings taking form and reaching to the sky is just as rewarding as the praise given by beach walkers, both young and old.  And, in the end, a dip in the water to rinse the evidence of labor away followed by a last perusal of your creation provides a cathartic sense of accomplishment of a day well spent.

Take some time to look around the site, and enjoy every moment of it.  I hope the material here conjures up visions of palm trees and turquoise water, sounds of island rhythms and crashing waves, smells of sunscreen and salt water.  Perhaps you will be inspired to book a vacation to experience these images directly.
