It's also a time for burgers, barbeques, and parades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;While many Americans are getting ready to hit the road for the weekend, others are laying out the lounge chairs and preparing the pool for the traditional opening of pool season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; At my condo in &lt;a href="http://www.homesdatabase.com/brianblock/AX6733523" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Alexandria Knolls West&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, pool preparations have been in full force for the last few weeks.&amp;nbsp; The water is sparkling blue and clean, the hot tub is filled, and the lounge chairs were set up yesterday to ready things for the weekend.&amp;nbsp; Similar efforts are taking place all over Northern Virginia.&amp;nbsp; While this weekend may not be warm enough to dive right in, be assured that the hot Summer weather is on its way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Alexandria Knolls West swimming pool" height="199" alt="Alexandria Knolls West swimming pool" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/6/8/9/9/ar121154331399869.jpg" width="300" /&gt;
