One day I decided that, seeing as we don't have a pool, we needed to find one. When we were doing our floors a few years back during our big kitchen renovation, we had to move out for nearly a week, and we decided to stay at the local Marriott as it had a great pool for the boys and was relatively close to home. It is located at a local outdoor mall, which was nice when it came to walking to restaurants, coffee, or the movie. (okay, and maybe to do a bit of shopping when I could sneak away...)
As we had such great memories of our "stay-cation" back then, I thought that this would be the perfect place to spend a night hanging out with the boys and playing in the pool.
We had a great time - lots of swimming, dinner at one of our favorite burger joints, and a movie with popcorn before bed.
I highly recommend it when you need a little break from the ordinary!

Great idea...I am up for any break in the daily routine, xv.
What a brilliant idea....I would never have thought of it.
A bit of shopping,a bit of eating, a bit of swimming a bit of sleeping....and you don't have to wash up or make the bed !!!!....a perfect day. XXXX
Such a precious family, Mimi. I bet they loved the pool at night too. Salt water heals everything, but pools relax like nothing else.
Happy Sunny Day :-)

Looked like a great time! Must be nice to still have children at home. Sigh. I have an empty nest; well, except for a dog and hubby.
Wonderful idea - especially with these temperatures! In Seville, it's currently 41C plus high humidity and no respite in sight!
Hope you've had a great weekend and warm greetings from Andalucia, Spain!

ps The verification word is, "butcult." Oh, dear.
This looks like it was so much fun! A little stay-cation with the boys. I bet they had a great time too. Stay cool my friend. xoxo
fun!
fyi...the pool we "sneak" into...is a resort style hotel here in town...so we always just walk right in to the back where the indoor pool is located.
I'm sure once they start to recognize us on a weekly visit in the winter...then our haven will be gone.
just don't say anything.
