Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

Since it's going to be 80 degrees and sort of sunny today, it seems like the perfect day to bring up one of my favorite summer activities. A pool day is great, don't me wrong, but there's something about hopping into a clear, cool quarry that just hits differently. All of these swimming spots open up Memorial Day weekend, so you've still got a little time to plan your trip and pick out the perfect swimsuit before you hit the road.
