The Small Town Perk

After living in one of the largest cities in the US, it is hard to imagine living in a small town town like Quincy - even though I did for 18 years. Philadelphia and its suburbs has just about everything you could want and more. The shopping, eateries and outdoor experiences are limitless. However, there is one area where my tiny hometown trumps Philly. It is its pool. Not only does Quincy have a fabulous public pool that is CLEAN and not CROWDED, it has two water slides as well. I gladly paid the $3.50 admission and entered with a smile (this would cost $225 a month where we live). We visited it last night and had a wonderful time. The girls couldn't keep off the slides and the zero depth wading pool was perfect for Miss Adeline. Most of us are battling an illness and are not running at 100%, but we powered up for an evening at the pool and had a fabulous time.
