Now this is some kind of customer service!  I'm not often cheering about stuff the NPS does these days, but I approve.
Hope others can enjoy it as well.  It would be nice if there was good turnout of folks to show them we value them opening the doors early for us.  However, I think it probably has more to do with the lillies.  See below.
