Sponsored this week by Boo Bar! Yay, back from vacay!
Take a breath. It’s that moment just after school has started in town, and the weekend before US Labor Day Weekend. Enjoy a quiet stroll on the beach this weekend, or a nearly private golf round – breathe (wiping away dabs of sweat as well, it is still August in Rocky Point). Let’s run down the weekend!
