Texas Pool Staycation/Vacation 
 
ClarasnorkleI've just shaken off that last chill of winter and all along the future's horizon I see tropical palm trees swaying in the soft southern breeze. This is the summer for a Texas Pool staycation/vacation. Why spend thousands of dollars and days in travel transit when one can soak up the palm trees, sunshine and sub-tropical weather for the entire summer shore-side at the Texas Pool. Around my house, the first day of springtime echoes with the cry of small voices asking, "How long before the Texas Pool opens?" It won't be long now and we're working on some fantastic surprise events for this year's swim season as our spring cleaning and membership drive get underway. So unpack your snorkel, and set sail for a summer long staycation/vacation
               and I'll see y'all at the Texas Pool.
