In the annals of my Kismet experiences, the past Memorial Day weekend brought some of the worst weather in memory, a total wipeout. At the same time, this holiday was established as a solemn occasion to honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives to defend our lives and liberties. This year, the holiday dates fell a week earlier than usual. Additionally, Labor Day will be late this season: Our beaches are almost always better in September than in May.

While Memorial Day weekend weather was less than ideal, the rain did little to dampen the vibrant spirit of the Ocean Bay Park community. Residents and visitors still braved the elements to support local bars and restaurants, many of which were just opening for the season.
