Swimming

Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays for one very specific reason: it is the day that most swimming pools open.

I'm not lucky enough to have a pool of my own, so I have to depend on community pools. Every summer when I was growing up, we went on a family vacation. I didn't care where we went or what we did, as long as we stayed at a hotel with a swimming pool. There was one summer during college that I went swimming every single day.

My husband thinks I'm crazy because I love swimming so much. I have to force him to go with me and he can't handle swimming longer than an hour. We made a deal that, someday, if I get a swimming pool with a dunk tank, he can get a motorcycle. I think motorcycles are stupid, but if I have a pool, I don't care.

I am so looking forward to this weekend so I can grab my Aqua Skimmer and my flip-flops and find a pool!
