What are you doing for Memorial Day weekend?

[skygazer]

We're going camping for three days - I've got a short day Friday and I'm off Monday - my SO is off both days so we're going to our favorite spot for some R&R. I can't wait. :bounce:

Anyone else got plans?

I took this at our camping spot when we went this past February -

1. I'm going away alone to Chicago!

with no kid and no husband!

:toast:


(it's rare that I get a chance to travel alone, these days.)

2. Alone time is important

I've never hung out in Chicago - always wanted to. Have fun! :hi:

3. it's lovely, and people are so nice there

I really enjoyed all the art and sculpture. It's always a pleasure to not have to be a "mom" for a day or two.


:hi:

hppe you have a nice camping trip!

4. That looks kinda familiar

Somewhere around Ventana, maybe? :shrug:

5. I'm hoping to go to a BBQ at a friend's in CT

Problem is, they are way on the other side of CT--probably a 3-hour drive--and that's tough if coming home the same day. Don't know if a stay-over is possible because the friend I'd probably go with has to work the next day. :shrug:

6. It's my birthday.

I'm going to throw a bunch of ribs, a brisket and some beans into the smoker and drink myself into a stupor.

7. Not sure yet.

Definitely not camping because that's when everyone else starts going. We usually go before Memorial Weekend and then again in October. Haven't had a chance to this year so I guess we'll wait til fall.

Whatever we do, it won't involve driving. At $3.29/gal., I can't afford it and wouldn't give them the satisfaction of paying for more than it takes to get to and from work at that price. I'd stop driving altogether if I could.

8. Having a HUGE garage sale...

Selling lots and lots of my stuff. Good stuff, but I have no room or need for it.

Come on by, I'll make you a deal...

11. BBQ with as many friends as we can gather in one place.

I mean BBQ too, not grilling. Slow cooked meat from at least 3 different grill masters. Lots of traditional and untraditional sides.
