Sodexo at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center: Favorite summer activities from our colleagues at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center

After a long , harsh winter and a chilly start to the summer weather, we finally had a chance to experience summer this past week in Boston! The weather ranged from highs in the 90's (Fahrenheit) to lows in the 60's (Fahrenheit) in the evening.

At the Sodexo account at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, our colleagues enjoy summer by spending time with their families, going on camping trips to Maine and New Hampshire, going to the beach or working on their homes. They shared lots of interesting and fun stories with me and it just brightened my day.

So, I have asked my colleague's permission to share their summer vacation stories on this blog so it will brighten your day as well! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy Summer!

The first article is from David Tupper, Sodexo Unit Controller at Lahey Health System. He just came back from his summer vacation at New Sharon, Maine. Let's hear from David about his vacation:

"I often travel to New Sharon, Maine to visit my cousin. From Burlington, it is about a three hour drive into the Maine countryside. It is covered with trees, farms and wildlife.

I love this area in Maine since I live and work in busy Massachusetts. It is a great feeling of relaxation to be somewhere that you can hear the birds chirp and watch the wildlife. Also, stargazing is pristine without any city lights to block out the view. Spending time with family and friends is precious, too.

I have friends in Maine who have a camp on Clearwater Lake in Farmington. It is a beautiful setting for lobster dinners by the water. There is always a cooling breeze off the lake in even the hottest weather. When you want to go out, you can visit The Ugly Moose restaurant and bar.

I have just returned from Maine and had a wonderful time. Working for Sodexo offers you the opportunity to work hard but also take the time off you need to re-energize yourself for work. Maine is the place I love to do this."

Thank you David for sharing your vacation with us!
