Traverse City



Last week we interns received the answer of one of the frequently asked questions:

Is it possible to combine work and vacation?

The majority of you guys will now shake your heads and you will answer promptly and convinced: NO!
Far from it! I’m confident because I have seen it for myself…
The answer is easy… the key word is:
Traverse City

We (nearly the whole company) went there last week when the event took place and yes, sure, we had to work but the amazing panoramic view from the 15th floor of the Grand Traverse Resort, the delicious dinner we had in the evenings at Stella’s and Great Lakes Culinary Institute and the pleasant atmosphere during the whole days compensated us for the labor-intensive preparations as well as for the long drive and for rising with the sun to open the suite in the morning.

In addition to that, these guys of us, who have a sweet tooth, got the chance to try some of the delectability’s of Jean-Pierre: belgian candies, tuna tartar and Crème Brule gave pleasure to a lot of clients and attendees (even though they were no gourmets...).
Particularly the women forgot momentarily about the calories and enjoyed the sweet sins.

It seemed the "Weather-God" embosomed us: the whole event went along with a lot of sunshine and pleasant temperatures.

Thus altogether it was a good time consisted of a nice work-and-amusement-mix!!

Pictures will follow…!

Well done, Linda. Your description makes me want to jump in the car and drive back up North to Traverse City.

I totally agree! :o)

I think it is also a good event to get to know each other better. E.g. Jen and me had time to talk a lot during our drive up there (you know, girls love to talk). And we also had the chance to talk to some clients in the suite and also to see their familiy.
"Hi Jim!!" at this point! ;o)

Larry and Maggie, thanks for giving me that nice experience in my last month...!

I think as a team we really did a great job in TC, especially since it was everyone's first time! The view from the suite was absolutely magnificent!!!
