When I was a lad, I remember our summers began and ended on holidays - on one side was Memorial Day and on the other side was Labor Day... for some reason that is no longer what happens... I suppose the teachers bitched to get more money and the school year was lengthened... whatever happened, school now resumes before Labor Day.
Most people who don't go on a vacation this weekend, have cookouts either in their backyards or at a local park & recreation area... some go camping, while others just stay at home and do nothing special.
For us (my wife and I), we are planning to stay at home as we do not want to be around a bunch of people regardless of the location... it ain't nothing personal, it's just how we are in retirement...
But, with an above ground pool in the back yard, a large gazebo, and hot tub, there is very little that we are missing by not going on vacation. We will probably cook some chicken or burgers on the grill... but, more importantly, think of all the money that we are saving not to mention the aggravation we would experience with a bunch of assholes drivers on the interstate.
