Do you have a favorite crowd-pleasing or party food recipe? Link it up Do you have Memorial Day Plans? We don’t have any formal plans and I’m not throwing a party. We plan to stay close to home, off the roads, and enjoy the day as a family. Maybe a park, walking around our neighborhood, relaxing, and keeping it mellow. In San Diego, there are a few holidays (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day) you just don’t go to the beaches. Traffic is a total mess and parking is impossible. We learned that lesson that hard way the first year we lived here and thought it would be “fun” to go to the beach for the day. Along with a half million other people. Locals, Northern Californians, half the population of Arizona, Mexico, and tourists who come here for holidays. Keep the car in the garage, walk as much as possible, and soak in nice weather are our plans. And eat some party food, minus the party. Have a Happy and Safe Memorial Day Weekend!
