I think May might be one of the worst months in Seattle. It starts to get really green here which is pretty, but it's usually still cold and wet and we are jealous of the warm weather everyone else seems to be having in other parts of the country. This past weekend was no exception - it rained rained rained all day Sunday. We took this as an opportunity to try out the pool at McMeniman's Anderson School in Bothell. It's been on my places to check out ever since they opened a few years ago. McMeniman's is a hotel chain that takes over old/historic properties and make them into fun breweries, restaurants and hotels. This spot used to be an old Junior High, and they've transformed the campus into a hotel with 3 restaurants on site, a movie theater and a pool that's open to the public. The pool is salt water, indoors (with some open sky lights) and heated to about 90 degrees! Perfect for wimps like me who need warm water to swim.
Anyway, the tropical themed, warm pool was just the ticket for the rainy day yesterday. It wasn't too crowded either because they limit the number of people who can go in each hour (you have to sign up 30 min prior). Afterward, we were starving so we went to one of the restaurants on site and sat on the heated patio and had a very early dinner. I had some yummy clams and truffle fries. All in all, a fun afternoon!
