What to do on Memorial Day
You know Memorial Day is a Monday at the end of May—the last Monday in May, to be precise—and that it’s a day off work for many Americans. As the unofficial “official start of summer,” Memorial Day weekend is a popular time for barbecues, beach trips, and blowout Memorial Day sales. But the history and meaning of the day are actually pretty solemn, especially when you consider the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. There are plenty of Memorial Day activities that are more true to its “memorial” purpose. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which will likely still be a factor in the U.S. at the end of May, it can be tricky to find safe things to do, and it might not be the right time yet for these Memorial Day getaways. Luckily, these activities are great for the whole family during this bizarre time!
