Fun Time in the Pool

Posted by: heath In: Heath| Sacramento

It’s been crazy hot in Sacramento for the last few days, with humidity hitting the 70% range. That’s more appropriate for the east coast than the west coast, especially Sacramento – but alas, when the weather gets sweaty there is nothing better than taking a dip in the pool.

So that is what I did, and of course David grabbed the waterproof camera. Here is the result of his photo taking expedition into our 10′ round blow-up pool…

Next David wanted an “action shot”, so I dunked my head under the water and came splashing up as quickly as I could throw my head back. This resulted in a fun picture, but two ears full of water.

I am so jealous of you and your pool. You know, just so you know.

Just started 2 weeks of vacation, and unfortunately I’m not traveling anywhere.
So what better than having a pool at home instead :)

Oh so lucky! I have plenty of vacation left this year but I just can’t seem to force myself to take it. I can do a day here or a day there, but never two weeks in a row.

I think the absolute longest I have ever been on vacation was 15 days – and that was a bit of a struggle (although I was in another country and it wasn’t like I could quickly get home so….).

Enjoy your two weeks!!! Sometimes even when you aren’t traveling just the ability to be “away” from work is important.



  • heath: Oh Tommy...your comments mirror those of the Dawg as well. They thought Lee's voice was too big for the song. I don't think it was too big, but I can
  • Tommy Marx: Gotta disagree with you on this one sweetie. Yes, Crystal and Siobhan were definitely the best of the women, and while I didn't like the song he sang,
  • heath: Glad we're on the same page regarding Lee ;-). Otherwise, I'm really bored this year. I was hoping that we'd have another big personality like Adam L
