Vanilla Chai memories

Whenever I see this bottle of Bolthouse farms Vanilla Chai I'm instantly brought back to my summer 2007 vacation in Florida. I haven't been back since 08 because I never can go when the family is going.

Now every August I feel like something is missing and I know its the annual summer trip to grandmas. Mhmmh...oh well there's always next year.

Today I twisted open a bottle of this chai and poured it over a cup of ice and instantly feel as if I'm back there, on the boat trip we all took that summer.

There's half of the clan checking out the celebrity homes.

The family my aunt works for rented out this boat for a lazy afternoon tour of Hutchinson Island, so relaxing and that my friends is where I had my first sip of that vanilla chai as well as some interesting whole foods to-go platters. I'm sure I will always remember this trip, till the next one.

Is there an item or beverage that brings back a summer memory to you?

If so do share...
