Great start to the memorial day weekend

We kicked off the memorial day weekend festivities with some Thursday deliveries in Ocean City and in Brigantine. It was a beautiful day to drive around before the weekend rush.

Following deliveries our sign was installed. Just in time!

We ended the evening with dinner at hula grill and a nice walk on the boardwalk.

We look forward to more deliveries this weekend and hopefully some fun in the warm sunshine.

Ribbon Cutting

We had our official ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday with the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce and their business administrator. We are so excited to have a new location at 1213 West Ave.

Thank you to everyone who have made and continue to make Relax a reality!

Debut

Our towels made their NFL debut at Met Life Stadium on Sunday. The towels were for the Meor Charity event.

We were invited to check out the field, gather towels in the locker room and got a ride on the golf cart. Our towels were also checked by security dogs upon arrival at the stadium.

Bed making kick off 2012

Saturday marked the kick off of bed making 2012. We have been doing many orders during the off season but we hadn't made any beds since late fall.

We worked with 2 homes on Long beach island yesterday and provided linens, towels, groceries and bed making.

Surf Chair Rentals (Beach Wheel Chairs)

We get asked from time to time about surf chair rentals (a.k.a. beach wheel chairs).  We unfortunately do not currently offer these.  However, many coastal towns provide at no charge.

Here are a few towns offering free surf chairs:

Avalon - Daily (summer): 10:00 am - 1:30 pm or 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Monday - Saturday (quiet season) -  Call for appointment.
Lavallette - Available on a first come first serve basis through the Lifeguard Headquarters 732-793-2566.
Off season Beach Wheelchairs are available through Public Works @ 732-793-7766

Ocean City

Odd beach items

I find it funny when houses have lawn items of animals that don't live at the jersey shore. Here's a few favorites. Maybe well get a big bear lawn ornament.
