We spend a whole lot of time at the pool in the summer.
Here's the thing, I live in Virginia and it gets hot here. Like really hot. I mean, I lived in Alabama for four years and it gets incredi-hot there. And let me tell you that a bad day in Virginia and a bad day in Alabama don't actually feel that different. Hence, during the summer you will find us at the pool.
It costs money to join the pool (not that much - we're lucky) and after that, it's kind of like free fun. Except of course for the $12,000 I paid for team suits, goggles, fins and others swim
crap swag. It's still cheaper than camp for three kids (which costs $12,000 + one functioning kidney).
Ahhh... Summer. When the suns shines, the chlorine burns, and the money pours out of my wallet.
