As we near the end of August, many of us are planning end-of-summer exploits to commemorate the dire heat and drought or make a last effort to bolster warming memories before the chill of autumn settles in. Here are a few ideas for labor-day which is often a three-day weekend observed by schools, businesses, and government employers.
Day Trips: a great way to quickly get away for an afternoon. Choose a spot nearby and picnic on a lake, canyon rim, or forest floor and observe the last long days of bustling wildlife activity. Or venture to the nearest metropolitan area and indulge in an outdoor concert, festival, or symphony performance. Washington DC, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other major metropolitan areas around the US host labor day festivals and parties worth attending before we’re locked in to another school year or drearily ongoing work year.
Camping: An especially great activity if you’ve got kids, pack up and go for a quick weekend away. Driving only a couple of hours can help cut down on travel stress, and packing s’mores and grill-able foods like hot dogs and hamburgers can create a festive and nostalgic atmosphere sure to be remembered.
Theme Parks: Six Flags parks, Disney parks, water parks or mini amusement parks can be a great way to spend the last weekend of summer with friends and family. With enough activities to keep everyone busy and interested, you won’t be bored! More than just rollercoasters, theme parks offer musical shows, restaurants, beer tasting rooms, and life size mazes and harvest activities.
Beach: A flight to the nearest beach can be a glorious last hurrah to soak up golden rays before clouds roll in and the temperature drops. Sandcastles, tide-pools, and finding seashells are age-old family-approved activities, and many beaches offer waterside accommodations. Waterside timeshare resorts like the Hyatt Highland Inn in Carmel, Marriott’s Harbour Lake in Orlando, or Marriott’s Barony Beach Club in Hilton Head, South Carolina are appealing for kids and adults alike with nightclubs and game-rooms for the kiddos.
