Swimming on top of City!

We've been Swimming in Suburbia. We love, Kicking it Up(shur) at our local and free DC public pool, Upshur Pool on a regular basis.  We've spent a lot of time Splishing & Splashing Around in our backyard baby pool.  And we loved, loved, loved hanging with our best buddies at the super nice hotel pool where we learned to use the pool noodle!

But we have yet to go rooftop swimming at a hip downtown condo building!  Whoop Whoop Uncle Greggy!  Our bestest Uncle Greggy was in town for mere hours last week - but he managed to secure us some pool passes to his old condo rooftop pool for a super awesome Friday afternoon swimming session! (Almost as good as securing tickets to the Olympic Swimming Finals in London - but not quite) Jonah was totally stoked about the whole - the pool is on the roof - idea!  I tried to explain to him that there was a time that his mommy lived in a very hip and cool West End building with a rooftop pool - he looked at me like I was nuts... I guess I will always be his mommy - not some super cool chick... oh well!

It wasn't very crowded.  Jonah wanted to know where the lifeguard was and if he was allowed to "use his noodle" - no lifeguard - and YES you can use your noodle... Jonah also noticed - there was no baby pool... that's right kids - everyone in the big pool!

IT WAS FUN!

The weather was gorgeous! The sun was shining!  The kids loved the pool and hanging with Uncle Greg!  They also loved the view!  It was very cool to be looking out over the city!  We were hanging in Logan Circle - pretty close to our old neighborhood - which made me feel cool & hip.  It was a good afternoon!   

THANK YOU! Uncle Greg for giving us a special treat... You made Vera giggle and squeal with delight and Jonah got to use his noodle in the big pool... my kids are forever indebted to you for a giving them a Friday Funday!

We miss you!  And I must admit we miss hanging out at your rooftop pool all summer long - like we did those wonderful summers ago!

Enjoy NYC and come back and visit soon!
