On rainy days I love to go to the pool. The problem however is that I have not really found a indoor pool I really like. So I am on the search for pools...earlier this year in the spring we drove out to Bonneville Hot Springs Resort. It is a really nice pool, large out door soaking pool, and a "sauna". I write "sauna" because, there is no rest area, no cool off pools, and of course everybody in the sauna is wearing a bathing suit. That is rather strange to me...
Today was a nice rainy fall day here in PDX, and we decided to go swimming. In the quest to try out new things we went to the soaking pool at the Kennedy School in NE PDX. I have to say the pool is very nice. The changing area, showers, are quite rustic - but the pool itself is very nice. We had the pool to ourselves. It is outdoors, the water is very nice and warm, you can turn on the jets, float in the water, look at the sky, and feel the rain drops on your head.
Besides the changing/shower situation it is - very nice!!! We did have lunch and a pint afterwards. The whole family was quite happy...
One more thing to the shower/changing area situation. The changing area is right by the pool, the showers however are by the bathrooms which is across the hall. The bathrooms are also across from one of the larger meeting rooms. So picture this...the girls and myself wrapped in towels, barefoot walk through the hallway, past the meeting room (oh, and the doors were open), to the showers. 15 minutes later we did the same thing on the way back...this is a little different...
