The cannonball that never was

Yesterday I went home from work early to spend some time with N and Zoe. I had grand ideas to spend time at the pool. It's less than 1/2 a mile up the road and it is full of good times.

As I got home, I had N put a swimmer and suit on Zoe, I ran into the bedroom to get ready, packed a bag and we were ready.

With the extreme temps we've been having all I've wanted to do was sit in water somewhere. I've been looking forward to our pool trip for a full week.

As we turned into the parking lot, it was empty. The sign on the fence said "open daily from 10:30-5:30." Yet the metal door to the entrance was closed.

We went home and I called.

"Are you open today?"
"Not for open swim."

Honestly. It's like 94 degrees outside, I actually put on a swimsuit and they're closed.

To say I was disappointed is putting it mildly. I think I'm hormonal because I actually cried a little bit.

Fortunately swim lessons start tomorrow for Zoe, so I'll at least get to be in the water. Even though it's indoors.
