“Hey, get down in front!”

“When Labor Day looms, I know it’s the end of summer, officially. But I see it as the signifier that I can go to the beach! Since my summer is chaotic with work, I wait until the early weekends of September, since its still hot and the water is ‘swimmable’ for the most part, to go to the beach. I also look forward to the cute ‘n quaint Labor Day street fair in Rutherford, the quiet, suburban New Jersey nook of a town that I reside in. Shopping for cute fall jackets and scarves, finding new fall-toned lip glosses, and watching the final stretch of the baseball season for the Philadelphia Phillies are also my favorite end of summer treats!”

“A family picnic in the grass along the Hudson River in late afternoon, then an outdoor movie and popcorn on the field at Pier 46. The Frying Pan pier and it’s bar/restaurant is also a great, late-summer treat at dusk.”
