Besides my family & friends (obviously), the one thing I miss the most about our trip to Florida is the swimming pool!It seemed to be the answer to everything...
...bored - swim
...work on tan - swim
...eaten too much - swim
...want to save money - swim
...entertain the family/guests - swim
...don't feel like showering yet - swim
...practice no arm bands/diving with kid - swim
My husbands goal was to swim at least once a day with our daughter during the vacation, and he kept his promise. I admit I did miss out once or twice, like the night we arrived in The States and they swam at 11PM!!! There were days we only swam once due to the weather or plans, but there were also days we swam up to 5 times! Since it was March in Florida we did need to heat the pool, even living in cold Dutch weather for 10yrs doesn't prepare your body for the icy water. In general Florida is way too hot for me though, there were a couple days the sweat was dripping off as we were standing in lines at theme parks and I had to remind myself it was March and the temps would only continue going up and up. We made the mistake and visited once in the summer, a quick reminder that I am a 70-75 degree kind of person (no warmer than that please)! Anyway, I miss having a pool right off the house... no driving there, no paying entry fees, no dealing with the general public, I could go on and on.
Any of you have a pool? Do you use it regularly or take it for granted? When I lived in Florida I took pools for granted!
Bye! Dag! Adios! Namaste!

It's really nice to have your own pool. And as you've said, it seems to be the answer for everything! Not to mention the part where you get to save a lot of money, especially during the summer. Since you don't have to go far to have fun at the pool, you save on gas money, possible entrance fees, and even buying those very expensive foods at the stalls – plus you can stay there as long as you want! You can also hold events there. I'm sure your guests wouldn't mind having a pool party, especially if it's a hot day. Haha! Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us, Danica. Have a great day!
