Labor Day in Bay Head

Harriett & Bette rented a house in Bay Head for Labor Day weekend and the week that followed. Let me explain what Labor Day is to the non-Americans: this is the extended weekend that marks the end of summer. The other extended weekend that bookends the season is Memorial Day. Memorial Day makes us excited for summer; Labor Day makes us wish that summer would last a bit longer. Most other countries celebrate their "Labor Day" on May 1st, or May Day, but the US is not one. "May Day" makes many Americans think "Commies".

Enough history. We enjoyed the beach, playing celebrity head, Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, and combing the beach for interesting trash. The best thing I found was an action figure with barnacles growing all over it. Check it all out here.
