It's our day off....we are exhausted. It was very busy yesterday, starting with people waiting for us as we arrived for work at 8 a.m. Never stopped from there....people moving in and out all day long. Guess because it was the first of the month that it was transition time. In addition to the day to day stuff, we are still finishing up things to be ready for the owners visit on Tuesday. I've gotten several coats of wax down so far in the restrooms and they are looking much nicer and the dock and crash poles have a fresh coat of paint. We rented a buffer/scrubber from Home Depot and the 1st floor is almost done and looks great. I don't think much more is going to get done before Tuesday as there are other more pressing things to get done relevant to our day to day operations that will take time to get done.
Here at the campground, Sunday seems to be a big turnover day. We arrived here last Sunday afternoon and there were many empty spaces. Many are packing up to leave today so by this afternoon it will probably have the same look as last week. Many of the Rv'ers here are from Quebec. It has been so rainy this week and we feel so sorry for the folks that are in tents. There is a wide mix of camping styles here....very small tents....old pop-ups....camper vans.....5th wheels.....elegant motorhomes. Linda even saw a young lady wrapped up in a blanket sleeping on the ground next to her car the other night. Not sure if she wasn't fit to drive home or what her situation was. I guess it was around mid week that we were absolutely packed. Even up until 10 p.m., when I went to bed, the evening security guard was still helping people get into the few remaining sites. Last night we went to bed to the sound of "thump thump thump" and I walked down to the harbor to see if I could figure out where it was coming from. It wasn't coming from the bar but seemed to be over towards the Statue of Liberty. I could see the sweeping flood lights criss crossing across the sky and hear the music. I asked at the office this morning and Carmen said it was a concert at Liberty State Park. Not a weekly event (thank God as it was very noisy)but something special during the summer.
Not sure what we're going to do today. I asked about getting into the Statue of Liberty and Carmen said she heard they are booked until October (for getting into the Statue itself). We can visit the museum, etc. but wouldn't be able to get up into the statue. Bad storms coming in again today....coming from Pennsylvania way. I know we're gonna get laundry done. May work tomorrow (although should be our day off) so we're sure to be ready for the site visit on Tuesday.
