I think DC is following within a few weeks, if not sooner given the first confirmed case (and stories of others in DC requesting but not receiving testing).


We have many doctors’ kids on our club swim team. Gmafb. Are we hearing about kids anywhere in the world have a slew of infections from pools?

No way I’d let my 10yo sleep over at a hotel, unless I’d known the parents for YEARS.

Ugh and no, I am not sending my 10 year old to a hotel for a sleepover with or without corona virus. This is the epitome of trying too hard! Just have a pool party at a red center or a hotel if you must or st James and then everyone goes home or do a sleepover party. Sleepover + pool + hotel is just too much! How many kids are you inviting?

This.

Or why not just check with local rec centers with pools? Many of them have specific party packages where you can use their party room for cake, etc. after.

Most hotel pools are so tiny; if you even just have 6 kids you've basically taken over the entire hotel pool, which isn't really considerate of other guests.

PP I believe the HWS and MRI only have outdoor pools though. I would try to get an Embassy Suites room with 2 bedrooms. ES have indoor pools.

i can't speak to the area specifically, but roughly 30 years ago, i had a sleepover party at an embassy suites hotel. it was an amazing hotel for this sort of party because of the way the halls were open and overlooked everything.

I called around to the ones near me that looked the nicest and had the largest rooms (suites). Then I went and looked at 3 before we settled on one.

Homewood suites has a kitchen, bedroom with two queens and then a huge living room with a sleeper sofa. The girls slept together in the bedroom and I slept on the sofa. You do all have to share a bathroom. I brought tons of food, went to the pool and then hung around the room.

If you’ve hosted or your kids have been invited and the hotel was especially accommodating, please recommend.
Thanks
