A pool?!

Last week I realized something; there are pools in DC that are FREE to residents. I recognize that some may not be alright with this concept but those are my tax dollars at work and there is one a short mile walk from our apartment. 

So I went.

And it was hilarious. There were a lot of people there, but there were still some empty lounge chairs; the trick, I think, is going on a week day.

What I appreciated, beyond the water that felt glorious on a muggy day, was the mix of people; there was quite a variety.

I dipped myself several times, enjoyed some reading and people watching, and indulged in a McDonald's soft serve cone for my walk home. 

Win!

hopefully I'll make it over there in the next several weeks.
