When our kids were playing travel team hockey we visited Erie every year and NEVER stayed anywhere as nice as this.:)

Love the light, colors and reflections!!

Bobby, Patrick, JudyAnn, John, Kitty, David, Anthony & Tammy ~ Thank you so much for your fabulous input on this image! It really was a unique pool! I thought it was strange though because it was on the main floor near the lobby! First time I had ever seen that! :)

David ~ My girlfriend got a deal on this hotel for 4 of us ... It was only $65. per night for each person! :)

Anthony ~ Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to go in this nice pool! We spent most of our time shopping & eating! :) #10375846

So beautiful Lorna. In my trips to Europe I found that in the early days they would have cisterns just like this that are used for baptisms and sacred rituals. With the stained glass window above, this certainly has a sacred feel to it. Very nicely presented Lorna. #10376904

Thanks, Reynaldo! Unfortunately this pool wasn't in Europe ... Pennsylvania was as far as I got! Perhaps someday ... :) #10386938

Ya know, this WOULD make a great place for Baptisms!! I'd have loved to sit and relax by the pool with you there, Sis. I wish Wm would get that time machine of his working right. I'd be there in a flash. :D

Welcome home. I'm glad to be home too. I was gone 17 days on the California road trip.
