The End of Summer


Back in the 'Sixties there was an iconic movie called The Endless Summer--a surfing flick that had not much to offer except the promise of a never-ending set of waves glistening in the sun. The phrase has stuck in my mind for all these years, but this summer certainly didn't bring back sunny memories of my youth. We've had an unfortunate amount of rain this year and, rather than summer sun punctuated by rain, we've had nearly endless summer rain, punctuated (all too infrequently) by sun.


Old-timers around here tell me that a very wet summer leads to early fall colors...we've not been here long enough to validate that, but we've certainly got an opportunity this fall to test out the hypothesis. There's also a theory that the colors will be more vibrant...personally, I'll wait to see what develops. September has been shaping up fairly nicely, though, with many more sunny days than rainy ones. This seems to be a trend that we can get used to!


In any event, to mark the return of sunshine into our lives, Liz and I have decided to extend the weekday summer specials until the end of September. The weekends are already pretty full up, so there's little value in continuing the weekend special. Soooo...come see us Sunday through Wednesday nights before the end of September and stay in any room in the house(s) for $169.99 per night, plus the "Governor's cut" (state taxes).


Just give us a call to book!
