When I need some quiet time away from the wand, I just grab a shovel and move some snow around in nice, pretty piles. Sometimes, I even throw a little yellow "tint" in the snow.
When we stayed in Laguna Beach back in 03, I think we stayed at the Dunes Hotel. Pretty pricey by my standards but cool. After we settled in and finished our $500 dinner for 6, my Sons wanted to explore the town a little. Concierge asked them "what" they were looking for? He said they would find they "rainbow" part of town to the left, the standard "palette" of town to the right.
