 Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start to
summer.  It's
a three-day weekend full of festivities that include fireworks, beach time and great sales. Although many of us enjoy barbecues with friends and family (in our crisp summer whites), it's also a time to celebrate those who have fought and fallen for our country. Read on to see how JABBERS spend this weekend - perhaps you'll be inspired to try something new in Palm Beach!
Happy Memorial Day and Happy JABBING!

Let the Festivities Begin...
From Team JAB
It's Memorial Day Weekend, JABBERS! Time to unfurl the flag and break out your  white clothing that's been tucked away in the back of your closet. If you don't have plans and are looking for something new to try during the long weekend, read on to see how other JABBERS celebrate the holiday.
Gourmet Grilling
Ashley Schutz will spend her weekend poolside: "Memorial Day for us means hanging out by our pool all day. We invite all our family over, and spend the day floating on rafts, cooking on the grill, and drinking margaritas. I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen, so I love getting pre-made Peter Luger Steak Sauce hamburgers from Joseph's Gourmet Market - they are the best. I'll serve it with Bobby Flay's french potato salad."
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Eileen Saltzman will be cheering in the stands this weekend: "As avid baseball fans, our family enjoys going to baseball games during the Memorial Day weekend. It's the perfect place to spend time together, eat and be entertained at the same time." Sound like a great idea? Check out the Palm Beach Cardinals as they play against the Jupiter Hammerheads at Roger Dean Stadium on Sunday, May 26.
Water, Water, Everywhere
For Elayne Simione and her family, Memorial Day Weekend kicks off their summer vacation plans: "My kids love water parks. Every summer we take numerous trips throughout south Florida to visit different ones." If you are staying in town JABBERS, check out the Rapids Water Park in West Palm or for the little ones, Palm Beach Garden's Splash Playground.
Never Forgotten
As the child of a veteran, Tracey Danks makes sure she formally acknowledges our fallen heroes: "I think it's important for our kids to understand that there are many men and women who lost their lives so that we could have the freedom we enjoy today." To honor our nation's heroes, Forgotten Soldiers Outreach invites the public to attend the 8th Annual "A Day to Remember" Memorial Day Service hosted by Palm Beach Memorial Park on Monday, May 27 where this year's theme will be "Children of the Military."
Beach Bums
Cyndi Pruellage spends Memorial Day Weekend enjoying Palm Beach like a tourist: "My family and I enjoy going to the beach on Memorial Day Weekend. Even though we live in Florida, we hardly ever go so this is the one weekend we make sure to enjoy the sand and the surf." Palm Beach has many beautiful beaches but if you are looking for one that is known for being less crowded, check out Juno Beach where you can even bring your four-legged family members!

Miami DolFans

I would love to take my toddler to Europe next year. If you have any information about a company that offers this service, please send me their contact information. Thank you! |
Celebrating With a Staycation
From Amanda Rosenblatt: REPLY Every year we travel for our anniversary, but this year we are staying put! Can anyone recommend a local luxury resort hotel? I would prefer recommendation for hotels that are on par with the Waldorf resort in Boca? We would like to stay two nights, and ideally it should have a spa and a private beach. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks! |
Something to Write Home About
From Danette Alfonso: REPLY My son is going to sleepaway camp for the first time this summer. I am looking for stationery or an easy, fill in the blank form for him to use on days where he does not really feel like writing home. If you have any recommendations, please contact me. Thanks! |
