Ways to Spend Memorial Day Weekend
Host a barbecue or plan a picnic. Fire up the grill and enjoy a cookout in your backyard or find a spot in a park. Bring your picnic favorites and don't forget to bring a blanket.
Visit a small town. The long weekend is the perfect excuse to explore nearby. Shop small at local stores and craft fairs. Parades, picnics, and concerts will likely round out the three-day fun.
Go for a hike. Soak up the warm weather by going out for a hike. Whether it is a nature trail or a National Park, enjoy being outside.
Go berry picking. Sweet strawberries and blueberries will be in season around Memorial Day, so find the nearest farm for berry picking and get some fresh ingredients for your next summer dessert.
Travel tip: In addition to bringing your clothes, pack your patience. Expect crowds, airport delays and traffic. Just take a deep breath and remember that everyone is just as anxious to get there as you are.
