tour guiding on the side

I am officially done with orientation and I am now practicing on my own, well actually I am never really alone because the group of nurses that I work with are so wonderful, everyone works so well together it is truly a team effort.  I have worked a couple night shifts now, had a few nights that were not so busy and then had a few nights were I can’t remember sitting down once!  When I am not working I am giving guided tours to some of our guests that we have been having!  Erin and Aaron’ came through for a night on their road trip, we didn’t have much time but we were able to take them up to Shoreline trail for a better view of the city…

img_7980We each split a milkshake since there is more than enough for one person when you order a Regular sized shake! Jason is not a fan of Iceberg Drive-Inn since they forgot his chicken nugget dinner but since I emailed the company and explained our frustration with the service we received, they sent us a 10 dollar gift certificate to make up for our troubles!  I do like their sign even though their service sucks :)

Thanks for visiting K & M and E & A!  It was nice spending time with you guys.  Now I am off for five days and I have another visitor, Katie is here we are going to go exploring together!  Today we are thinking of hitting up a hot spring in Midway, I am so excited to have time to explore, my work schedule rocks!  I feel bad for Jas because he is back on his crazy schedule of 30 hour shifts every third day, he will be in dire need of our week off in September before the wedding.

    Thanks for having us. We had a great time! Hopefully we can come back when there is snow. It will be beautiful. Say hello to Socks for me!

    Megan, I love your blog! You and Martha are one in the same. She also has one and your material is right up there with the best! I was searching for how to make bread & butter pickles and of course Martha had a wealth of info for me. You’ll have to do some canning sometime with that beautiful garden. When you do, just call upon Martha and AK of course:)
