Visiting Springfield Mass

We have been in the Springfield, Mass area for the past week.  It’s been good connecting with friends again.  It’s been a very busy week and today is our only down day so will try to catch up the blog. 
Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield and there is a National Memorial Sculpture Garden in his honor. 
117-1758

What would you do for TV?

Today we finally hit the road and are now in the mountains of Massachusetts.
So many trees around, this was the only place Ed could put the dish.

Last days at LGE

Labor Day weekend is our last working weekend here at Lake George Escape.  Last May when we started it seemed it would never end and we had lots of time to do the things we wanted to do.  We had hoped to be able to spend more time with family in the area but, working 5 days a week, time just seemed to get away from us.  We usually had Thursdays and Fridays off, but because our last day is Sunday, they had me working those days.  It was the first Friday I had ever worked and we had over 300 check in Friday!! We had our express check in booth opened.
Here is Nellie, who helped me run to the vehicles, and Darlene inside handing us the information.  It works really well because people don’t have to get out of the vehicles.  We can get them checked in and moving towards their sites in a matter of minutes.

If we let them go into the lodge to check in they might end up wandering through the store and it clogs up the driveway.

In the driveway we can stack them 3 wide and at least 3 deep before they overflow onto the street.  We work really hard at keeping the traffic moving. Yesterday along with the 3 of us on express check in, we also had 2 gate people helping direct the traffic. 
One of the biggest hits of the park is our nightly wagon ride.  They go all over the park and usually have several kids on bikes following along.

LGE also offers its guests a shuttle service into Lake George Village.  Here are a few pictures of one of their best drivers.

It’s been a good summer…we are planning on coming back again next year.
