Ask the friends list: DC-area hourly hot tub rental

[geekchick]

Oh wise and all-knowing friends-list,

Do any of you happen to know if there's a DC-area equivalent to Watercourse Way? My body is grumbling at me for shovelling snow (and for getting older), and it's suggesting that perhaps a dip in a hot tub is in order. Sadly, I don't have one. I have a ginormous Jacuzzi tub, but the hot water heater is not quite up to the task of boiling me if I fill the tub completely; at best I get reasonably warm. I'm not necessarily looking for a spa-day-package sort of thing (although I guess I'd take it, if it were reasonably priced). I know there's the hot springs in Berkeley Springs, but that's a bit of a trek. I was hoping for something a wee bit closer.

But you're not a lobster. :-)

Well it is getting close to St. Patty's day, throw in some potatoes and carrots.

I could be wrong, but I think there's a huge hottub somewhere nearish to me. Either a Reston or Herndon community center maybe? My friend Dave used to call it the "Olympic Hottub".

Thanks! It looks like both the Reston and Herndon community centers have hot tubs, but maybe that's the one in Reston (which says it has a 16-seat hot tub in Hunters Woods).

Not that it helps now, but I'll certainly treat you to Watercourse Way when you're next out here...
