A place, a state of mind...a refreshing drink



Ahh, Cape Cod, Memorial Day Weekend. An incredibly relaxing and drunken time was had by all. Not to mention lots of sea food consumed, and a little bit of sun burn - ouch.

Did you know Memorial Day, the fourth Monday in May, is the first federal holiday in the U.S. after President's Day comes along in February? A gap of three long months.

It's no wonder the Europeans, who have six-week summer vacations annually, not to mention lots of individual holidays sprinkled thoughout the calendar year, think Americans are crazy. Or indentured servants to our corporate overlords. Which is basically about right.

I was at Belmar this weekend and got sunburned too, even though every year I swear I won't any more! hehe

Whats the difference between a Cape Cod and a Seabreeze? Are they the same drink???

I love Cape Cod. We used to go there almost every year when I was little. Did you eat lots of clams JBK?:)

Verklempt - I think a seabreeze has grapefruit juice in it and a cape cod has cranberry juice.

We had a guy working in our office for a year who was from the London division of my company and he was amazed at how little time off Americans take for vacation compared to there or just about anywhere else in Europe. They have a much better quality of life there I think.
