What are your travel plans for Memorial Day weekend?
Hi everyone,

We're working on an upcoming blog story and want to know: what are your Memorial Day travel plans? Are you planning on exploring the outdoors with friends and family or are you staying local? We'd love to hear from you!

I want to just stay home and avoid all the people, but DW says we're heading for Northern California's wine country.

We are staying put Son's wedding during memorial day, and our family is in the Bay Area. We'll host out-of-the-country guests in San Francisco.

We'll be hosting a houseful in Chatham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. I hope the weather cooperates!

We always have something planned with family for that weekend, but nothing yet. [Just had 20 family/friends at a Mother's Day gathering} We will use a Marriott Rewards' free night' that has to be used by June 16th. Probably in Brunswick, Me. and go to LL Bean. Visit Portland the next day on the way home.

Flying to DC and spending the weekend at Lewis Cabins in Shenandoah National Park. Will visit Monticello, Ashlawn Highland, and Montpelier. Might spend 3 or 4 hours doing something in DC before catching our flight back home.

When other people travel, we hide.

From my couch - maybe to the Rose Garden - and maybe to the nearby Ocean to fish a bit.

In Nantucket:

Watch the Figawi sailboat racers arrive from Hyannis.

If one of our boats is in the and the weather is nice, have a sail ourselves. Won't fall in. Water still in high 50's or low 60's. Otherwise, reserve a sail on the Endeavor.

Won't do: go to bars or restaurants to watch 50'ish Figawi racers come on to college girls and 20 somethings.

Packing up the house, barbecuing, and shivering as the children jump in the cold water of the pool on its opening weekend.
