Cool Pool

Today we visited the North Shore Lagoon Swimming Pool at the McMenamins Anderson School in Bothell, WA.

The McMenamins passport has stamps for visiting places but it also has stamps you can get for performing various actions or buying specific products. Once you done a few you get a gift card prize and if you play your cards right you can come out ahead.

I like the pool here a lot. A little bit of theming goes a long way in transforming a pretty standard indoor pool into a fun and unique place to hang out. I especially like the several waterfall elements that they have going.

Ernie is actually a pretty good tooth brusher.

Today we took Ern to the McMenamins North Shore Lagoon Swimming Pool at Anderson School for a dip.

Despite its very long silly name I really like this pool. How many pools outside of Las Vegas have fun themes like this? They do have a sad Northwestern understanding of temperature though. The poor is sort of weakly heated and then they have the windows open maybe all year round. It's a real bummer in the colder months.
