Both Alanna and Katie had jam-packed weekends that started at What The Buck… and ended at the same sushi restaurant for dinner on Sunday, but with separate people.
Happy Friday! The question of the week - How old is too old for What the Buck at Shenanigans in Sea Isle? Alanna thinks the limit does not exist, and Katie thinks we have already hit said age.

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is on the right side of this debate because there is only one right answer.
