Sanctuary

For some it's a church, maybe a grove of trees, a mountain top, a walk on a beach. But for me it's this. It doesn't matter the weather, (as long as there's no lightning) this is my spot. There's not much an hour or two here can't cure. This is my pool.

Since moving back to California, I'm able to swim outdoor year round and it's heaven. This pool is heated to a perfect 80 degrees--chilly at first, but keeps you cool during your work out. It's salt water cleaned instead of chlorine, better for skin, hair and scent. It's also got a hot tub, steam room and sauna. The boys LOVE the kid's club--climbing maze, crafts, wii, toys and balls. I love the work out, the quiet, the sunshine, the exercise, the break. This is my escape.

When people ask me how I stay sane with 3 little boys, this is my answer. I go to the pool.

In the summer along a beautiful pathway and I felt so refreshed. Between the weather and my Robert having a huge school load (he watched the kids) I haven't been able to go. He graduates next week so hopefully our income increase will allow me to drop my 2 kids off at child care while I go run, swim, whatever I feel like. Good for you for exercising.

aaahhh that does look like the perfect place to swim. I miss swimming outside from when I lived in California too! Brings back good memories of you swimming before school started.
