Vacation® is pleased to welcome Kathleen and Barry Espinosa to our seventh annual Conceptual Pool Toy Unveiling, where their daughter Mandy–Head Artist of Development at Vacation’s Inflatable Pool Toy Entertainment Committee– showcased her Q1 aquatically adept renderings to an enthusiastic staff. As most know, Mandy and her team have been working tirelessly through all of Q4 to think-tank top-tier inflatable fun for honorary employees to ride along and ring in spring via our state-of-the-art lobby-wide lazy river. Needless to say, the team outdid themselves this year, showcasing such designs like a rendition of our Classic Whip, a hypothetically-loungable martini glass, and an almost-edible imitation of a freshly flamed Bombe Alaska (an ode to our groundbreaking lip concept). All looked ready to ride on conference room B’s pristine light projector.
Proud parents Kathleen and Barry Espinosa were especially wowed by Mandy’s pièce de résistance, a proposed plan for a nine-foot tall inflatable flamingo fit for five, donning a pair of suave sunglasses and accompanying man-sized margarita. In a touching turn of events, Mandy bestowed the honor of leading the after-presentation seafood buffet onto her parents. All agreed that Kathleen and Barry looked quite distinguished taking the first shrimp from the crustacean tower, in fact, there wasn’t a dry eye poolside. A huge thank you to Mandy and her team for developing a jaw-dropping collection of proposed aquatic accessories, and to Mr. and Mrs. Espinosa, leisure appreciation certainly runs in the family.
