Those Summer Days

So it's not officially summer, but it sure does feel like here in the DC region. It's going on what seems like the 100th day of 95+ degree weather with a heat index of over 100 degrees. It's hot. Brutal in fact. So much that all you want to stay inside and relish in the beauty of air conditioning. With the exception of a few Lucy walks, we've pretty much been prisoners in our home. The good news is that this intense heat is about to break...just in time for the weekend and for our visit with Adriana and John who are trekking down from NY to see us. The even better news is that we have a pool. And a beautiful pool at that!


It has been a while since I've lived in a complex with a pool ~ it's actually Ed's first pool so we made sure to take advantage of it over Memorial Day weekend. It was totally refreshing and 100% awesome. And the best part was that it was a manageable crowd. Not too many out of control tots or obnoxious...err...feisty young teens. :) The pool boasts a shallow section for young families, a main area for middle-aged farts like us, a lap lane for those looking to actually get some exercise out of their swim and a diving section.


And the best part is that the last 10 minutes of the hour are adult swim. I'm happy to see that this tradition has not changed since I was a lifeguard way back when. I have a feeling a trip to the pool will be weekend staple for the rest of the summer.
