The Best Birthday Celebration

Published on Dec, 2024

Came in with friends for birthday celebration. Jana was a fantastic tour guide and really took good care of us as it was super cold. Lee was a great driver and nearby when some of us had to get back on the glass top Sprinter van when we got too cold. Way to see the highlights and utilize our time the best for our short weekend. Thanks for a great birthday!!!
