What are your Memorial Day Weekend plans?
Me? I'll probably go hiking on Saturday. Going to Kings Dominion on Sunday and then just hanging out at home on Monday, probably firing up the grill.

How about you?

4. Spending as much time outside with my wife and 3 kids as possible.
The eldest is back from college for the summer. The pool is up and ready. It is supposed to be a mostly beautiful weekend with temperatures in the mid-upper 80's on Sunday and Monday. :woohoo:

17. Nuttin'
I'll probably attend one of the local veteran's observances, and I might go over to the Olde Family Homestead and watch the Sox with my dad and my brothers, but nothing fancy.

Usually, Manchester has a really good fireworks display over Memorial Day weekend. They have live music (one of the regulars made it to the finals of America's Got Talent), fried dough stands, and the like. Unfortunately, the city screwed it up. They demanded that the radio station that organizes the event pay more than double what they used to pay for police details. The mayor refused to help mediate the problem, so the show was cancelled. The local businesses that run the beer garden, face painting tent, hot dog stand, etc, all lose their biggest weekend of the summer.

22. We just broke a 120 year record for rain in a 24 hour period
And it's supposed to rain all weekend.

But if we didn't go outside in the rain we wouldn't go outside at all.
