This Memorial Day made for an amazing weekend at Postcard Inn. Every square inch of the property was in use; ping pong, corn hole and of course the poolside looked like a bomb went off, while WildWood hooked up the crucial BBQ. We managed to dodge all the rain clouds, and the only oil on our beaches came in the brown bottle with that familiar coconut smell. All was well.
Thanks to those who made it by and especial gratitude to those giving us the privilege to live it up in the sun, those men and women of the armed forces.
