"We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them."
~Thomas A. Walker
While we write this week about how to celebrate this weekend, we at Aquaknot Pools have not forgotten the sacrifices made by those men and women that have served this great nation. This weekend we celebrate their courage, strength, and devotion.
In our last blog post, we talked some great barbecue recipes guaranteed to please your guests, but with temps expected to be in the 90s, there better be some cold beverages to compliment those yummy bites.
If you plan to enjoy some adult beverages this weekend and want to enjoy something new, we have some great ideas for you.
