If life didn't feel like it were moving at break neck speed it might be remotely possible for me to get the yearly "February Blahs." As a wise friend once told me, "Never make any major life decisions in February." It is the longest shortest month of the year. With both the girls home yesterday and a cherished morning with nothing to do, I decided to drop by the Kennedy School. For those folks who have not yet been out to see us or who haven't been by McMennamin's Kennedy School YOU NEED TO MAKE A TRIP. It is a 1920s schoolhouse converted into a hotel/restaurant/movie theater/live music venue/anything else "portland hip" you can think of. One of their highlights, though, is the 'soaking pool'- an outdoor pool heated like a hot tub and instead of chlorination (made of those dirty, nasty chemicals Portlanders despise) it is kept clean with an organic mix of salts. What better way to spend a rainy 40 degree Portland morning than soaking in a salty tub. The girls loved it and are begging to return.
no chlorine - gosh, that sounds great - wish we had that at our pool - it was so strong the last month, my suit only lasted two months - but now they have it fixed, so it is better. the girls look like they are having a ball.
