To celebrate the first official day of spring, let's talk swimwear! There are pools waiting to be uncovered, beaches waiting to be reclaimed, and water parks waiting for you to return for another trip or ten down the big waterslide. We'll be in the heat of a Maryland summer soon enough, but for now, it's time to go shopping so you're prepared for the sun and sand!
