Memorial Weekend Plans

Barbecues and such?  What is everyone doing? 

We have two barbecues to go to, and I am going to start my garden.  I am hoping that I will have better luck this year than last!  

Re: Memorial Weekend Plans

  • Don't know yet what we're doing.  It's our anniversary weekend (six years!) but with just getting back from Arizona to take care of MIL and having to go out again in a few weeks, our usual plans to celebrate took a back seat.  Still might go to P-town, but not sure.  Otherwise, my family is hosting a BBQ on Monday and we'll do that.

    DH is having his college guy friends over Sat-Sun so I'm going to visit my college bff Saturday. We're going to look for deals on TVs and sectionals for our basement Sun or Mon. There's a lot of cleaning I can do around the house as well. Plus we'll probably do some work on the basement.

  • We are attending one BBQ and one birthday party (my friend's daughter is turning 7!)  Also, we are going to look at some new furniture, as the bedroom "set" we have is falling apart (definitely got a lot of the stuff off of a curb while in college, and now, many years later, it's time to get rid of it!)

  • Friday is my last day at work.  Me & DH fly down to Orlando very early on Sat.  My nephew's graduation is that night....no idea what else we are doing, except spending time with family and friends for the next week, while melting in the FL sun.  DH comes home the 5th....I get to stay until the 13thBig Smile

    Then back home to find a job...

  • My SIL is getting married this weekend! Saturday is the rehearsal and rehearsal luncheon, Sunday is the wedding, and then Monday is the breakfast and then my IL's are having a small cookout for them so they can open gifts and whatnot. It will be a really busy but fun weekend!

  • Packing and staging our house to sell. I'm trying to find a way to get MIL out of our house by Monday afternoon so we can have a relaxing Memorial Day 2 Hours. That's about all the free time we have these days.

    Haha, I'm just trying to imagine my husband packing for me. I'd probably spend the first day going, "did you bring this? Or this?"  I love him, but I am totally OCD about packing.

    Hope you have a great trip!I can't wait to hear where you end up.

    We started our vacation (well, staycation) yesterday, so I'm off until Tuesday.  We're going to Kittery/Portsmouth today, and we have tickets to a Paw Sox game on Saturday night. Otherwise, we're doing a whole lot of nothing, which I am beyond excited about.  Probably a couple of movies, and we may hit up the Sam Adams tour because we've been talking about going for years, but never do.

    Oh man, DH could never pack for me, nor could he pack for DS. He can be so clueless.

  • Lurker coming in.... My family has a cottage in ocean bluff, marshfield. DH and I wil be there for beach and bbbq. My big goal for this weekend is to try going from bright white white to off white. But there is a 99.9% chance of me getting a sunburn and freckles; even with a vat of sunblock with zinc.

    Oh, and we are going to eat a lot of fresh seafood.....yum! DH is excited about steamers and beer.

    Welcome!

    It's so weird to me that our little board has lurkers.  C'mon out and play, people!

    Work on Sat and Sun. On Monday we'll be talking about the houses we looked at this week and our future plans..

  • Sunday we are going to the beach for a beach BBQ at a friend's house. She has a DD the same age as DS. she lives right on the beach so it will be a very nice day to be able to go back and forth from the house to the beach.

    I think our neighbors want to GTG Saturday for a bit. We'll probably just throw some stuff on the grill and keep it casual. 

    No idea on Monday. I really want to de-clutter the house (I am a pile-er and they can get a little out of control) and we need to go to Lowe's to buy tools to anchor our bookshelves with. 

  • Another lurker here. H and I have planned a weekend getaway to Ogunquit, ME. We'll be staying a few nights in a hotel, getting massages and a facial for me, shopping and going out to eat. I can't wait. It will be SO nice to get away from the daily routine! I am a little sad though since my family has a house on Cape Cod and this will be the first year since I was really young that I will be breaking the tradition of going there for Memorial Day.

    Welcome to you, too!

    It's hard when you're first married to break old family traditions.  I was so bummed to miss my first Thanksgiving with my family so that we could do it with MIL instead (she's not local).  But eventually you settle in to new traditions.

  • I haven't been around in forever (hello!) but we are going to the CT shore with my family. It looks like the weather will be great for it!!

    Thanks!  Yes, it's hard to break the old traditions but I know the house isn't going anywhere.  I don't HAVE to go there specifically on Memorial Day.  Although, H and I got married on the Cape and I haven't been there since the wedding!  I am going through serious withdrawal!

  • We sort of just got talked into throwing a barbecue ourselves on Sunday so now we are really busy this weekend! 
  • Just finished polishing handbells for a concert next week... SO and I walked around the neighborhood a bit. Now I'm going to play in the garden and make dinner. We don't really have any plans. SO has some minor medical issues he is dealing with right now, so that kind of puts a damper on things.
