The Samba Room: bring your A-game and you could end up with a bedroom featuring THIS

After the girls spent copious amounts of money in the Mall (why would anyone spend $1500 on a handbag or $500 on a pair of shoes is beyond me!!!), we rolled back to the hotel for a couple of cocktails and preparations for round two.

This time we hit the nearby Dr. Phillips subdivision. Named after a notable community guy named Dr. Phillips (what, expecting something more complicated?), the area is home to high-quality homes, landscapes, shops, restaurants and bars.

No excursion would be complete with a small snafu to start. We wanted to start at Seasons 52, a trendy restaurant and lounge with a giant bar and a view of a lake. Inside the giant bar, in the center, is a baby grand piano, with a guy playing a variety of pop songs. Hey, it may be a little cheese to a hardcore dirty pub drinker, but remember, drinking isn't the only goal when out on the town my friends. And the targets in this place are usually very high quality.

Unfortunately, they close at 11pm on Saturdays, so make note to make it a starter destination on the weekends.

Thanks to this, however, we were able to venture to The Samba Room. Open till 2am, this place had a cool vibe to it. An older crowd, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was filled with the sounds of Salsa, Samba, Meringue and more.

If you're a smooth operator on the dance floor, get out there. But bring your A-game because there are pros out there that will show you up, and you don't want that in happening in front of the ladies in your party or you're sleeping alone later.

Hanging out at The Samba Room 'til closing time, the night was filled with Jaeger Bombs, rum and cokes, martinis and Coronas. Poor T didn't fair too well, passing out temporarily on the couch. But, she perked up in the ride back to the hotel when the smell of McDonald's food filled our car...
