We had called the night before we left to see if we could get a reservation in the dining room and was told the first available was after 9PM! So, we went ahead and made it, but, as we were standing near the desk where they take reservations and looking at the menu, we overheard the young man telling another couple that they had three early reservations. Ron & I looked at each other, thinking, what? So, we told him what we were told last night and ended up getting seated at 5PM, a much more desirable time to eat.

After getting that settled, we went ahead outside to look at the beautiful view and to look around at the grounds around the hotel.
