Memorial Day Weekend @ the Jersey Shore!

Memorial Day Weekend is upon us! Life has been busy at the Jersey Shore. We have opened our pool and we are preparing for a great Memorial Day Pool Party. Menu below!

Temps are supposed to be in the 80s & that’s the temp of the pool too!

We had fun strawberry picking @ Linvilla in Media, PA. Now it's time to try some new

recipes! Any suggestions??

The beaches at the Jersey Shore are beautiful and family friendly! Get your beach tags @ preseason prices!

We remember those who gave all for our country. Thank you to all who have served and are serving! Let Freedom Ring!

The garden is blooming! We solved our carpenter bee problem by painting the bare wood outside shower enclosure.

This weekend should be really crowded at the Jersey Shore with the unofficial kickoff of summer! Have a safe weekend! Don’t forget the sunscreen! Don’t drink and drive! Next weekend is the Ocean City Flower Show at the Music Pier on the Boardwalk and it’s free!

Enjoy!Jennifer aka Gigi
