The year is simply flying by and believe it or not, this weekend is already Memorial Day weekend. Weve celebrated Mothers Day and Fathers Day will be here before you know it. In between these parental holidays is a three day holiday weekend (for most people anyway) where we start to say goodbye to spring and start the summer season off with a road trip or a backyard barbecue.
When the weather is nice many of us will take the opportunity to make the most of it by getting outdoors to enjoy it. Some people will happily jump on their motor boats or jet-skis and get out on the water for some playtime. Many will go fishing or hiking at a nearby park or lake for some much-needed fresh air. Others will choose to hit the road and head to the beach for some fun in the sun and surf.
A lot of people will choose to just stay local for the holiday weekend since its a great time to kickback and just spend some time hanging out with family and friends. Plus theres a lot to be said for staying local - youll save a lot of money on gas and hotels. And you wont have to deal with packing and traveling in traffic either.
For simple fun at home its a great time to break out the classic backyard family games like badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, and water pistols. If youre lucky enough to have a swimming pool, thats even better. Or you can just pump up those great new inflatable pools, hop in and enjoy as much fresh air as you can. Seriously, after running around all week its really nice to keep it as simple as possible.
And whats a Memorial Day weekend without a big barbecue? Maybe you can cook up some hotdogs with sauerkraut, big juicy hamburgers and cheeseburgers, or grilled teriyaki tuna steaks. Then you cant forget some ears of sweet corn-on-the-cob plus slices of mouth-watering fresh watermelon to serve on the side. And the more you can cook outside on the grill, the less youll have to clean up in the kitchen.
It will all be more enjoyable if you line up your supplies before the weekend arrives. If you do your shopping early youll avoid the crowds or having to run out for things when you should be home enjoying a much-deserved weekend of relaxation. And dont forget to check to make sure youve got plenty of fuel in your barbecue.
