Whether you’re new in town, or just looking forward to a long weekend to enjoy this gorgeous area we call home- there are plenty of attractions and events to choose from!  The forecast calls for warm and sunny, be sure to keep plenty of sunscreen on hand and water for your travels.  The early part of the season we often forget the basics!  Ensure no matter where your destination is, you plan a meeting spot in instances of separation for your family- These early events can be slightly chaotic for all of us that have been stuck inside for the long winter, and it’s important to plan ahead.

 

Many of us take advantage of the long weekends as well to knock items off of our project list- Whether you just moved, are planning to sell, or simply collected to much over the winter- the extra day can be a great way to plan family cleaning and organizing projects.  Pack away the winter clothes and school books, and celebrate the start the new Summer season ready and organized.  Tackle one thing at a time, and be sure to sneak some fun in for your and your family!
