We are lucky enough to live up here and noticed the weekends don't seem to be as busy as years past. Also, we were on vacation this past week and it seemed more like March than July! We took the girlies on the Mount on Tuesday night -- for the first time in our 4 years of taking the Family Night cruise we noticed that the cruise was virtually empty -- no lines at the buffet, no lines at the bar, etc. We also asked some Weir's business owners and employees if they noticed anything different with the number of vacationers -- each indicated that it was down from last year and the year before especially. One noted that the Fourth week was down from last year, and last year was down from the prior year.
Hope this isn't a trend for our local business owners!

We did notice more folks in the area today -- maybe this year will be a late July/early August crowd?
