30 August 2014

Happy Saturday!

Today was one of the busiest days of the year...or at least it seemed like it. Being a world famous restaurant in "America's Favorite Place" (as determined by Good Morning America) meant that we are a hotspot for Labor Day vacationers. Like the pros that we are, Jami, Sarah, and I handled things in the information booth despite the crush of the crowd.

Today felt like the end of an era. I have off tomorrow and Labor Day itself is looking to be fairly slow as evidenced by the current number of reservations made. I think the busy summer season ended today for me. I'm alright with that. You may not have picked this up from reading my last 29 blog entries for this month, but August was not a pleasant time at work. I'm looking forward to the lighter crowds and five-day work weeks of September.

I book-ended my day with some alone time out in nature. This morning I woke up early so I decided to take a walk in the woods and on the carriage roads for about an hour. This evening I sat on an Adirondack chair near the water, read a few chapters of The Heart of Christiantiy, and enjoyed the fall-like air and views. It was a day to help remind me that I truly am in an amazing place.
