⚓ this week on LBI: 8/28/25

Mornin’!

Somehow we’ve stumbled into the unofficial last weekend of summer here on the island. The days have been getting slightly shorter, mornings are a bit cooler, and kids are getting ready to go back to school. If reading that just made you a little bit sad, know that we have an A+ long weekend of sunshine and nice weather coming up. Let’s go out with a bang!

P.S. 🥳 Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my wife whose birthday is today!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
