If it feels like there’s a lot going on around the Emerald Coast now that May has arrived, you’re right. You’d think Mother’s Day and Memorial Day would be the reason, but there’s a lot of stuff to do besides celebrating those holidays. It helps that the weather is (mostly) gorgeous and this is our little bit of calm before the summer tourists arrive in full force.
