Happy Labor Day! Feels like yesterday that we were wishing you a good Memorial Day, doesn’t it? Summer sped by, as it always does, in the blink of an eye. Sigh. But, alas, our beloved summer months have come and gone and now it’s time to start thinking about our fall clothes, our leaf-peeping day trips and our pumpkin lattes and hot apple ciders.
Are you doing anything special for Labor Day this year? A family BBQ or get-together perhaps? One final trip to the beach?
Please tell us in the poll below and leave a comment, too, if you feel like sharing what you’re up to. Thanks, and enjoy your day!
Going to the Maryland Renaissance Faire. If you have never seen it, it’s a park the size of 2 city blocks, with festivities galore. It’s only weekends in the fall, and tickets can sell out quickly.

We don’t go camping on the Holidays, the nuts and fruitcakes are camping. Everyone is crammed in like sardines. No thank you.
Preach brutha!
I agree with you. We go during the week just to avoid such shenanigans. Also, where I work part time has to have someone on site 24/7. I work today to get some extra hours plus holiday pay so the full timers can have the day off.
If near Nashville on a Labor Day, or planning to do so, check out Poole Knobs COE campground on Percy Priest Lake. We are here this year and many departed yesterday with few backfills. Bet 20-25 percent of sites are empty. Those remaining are quiet as church mice, or so it seems from our site. Strange, but maybe the routine here. Have a great week, David Bulkley, safe travels, and safe stsys! 🙂
Nuts, fruitcake and sardines. That’s a different lunch.
Not labor.
Going to the movie theater to see Regan. Seems like a good thing to do on this Labor Day.
We have an annual “Labor Day weekend queasant” (quail and pheasant fry) for all of our neighbors and any guests in our neighborhood. Everyone brings a dish and everything is delicious. This year we had about 40! So fun to connect with friends and neighbors, but it was on Saturday, not today. 4 days earlier we arrived home from a 2 week RV trip to Yellowstone and surrounding area with kids and grandkids.
The “quail and pheasant fry” sounds yummy. 10 quail per person? 😀
Holidays have become amateur time for tourons and fruity tooties anymore. No thanks.
We are actually going to our favorite state park campground today. A huge 10 mile drive! Navigating the extremely user-unfriendly website, we managed to reserve five days.
We’re helping our friends here in the Adirondack Park today mix and pour concrete for a pad.
Going out for a local Mourning Dove shoot with my son.
I am retired and don’t go anywhere on the three major holidays. We wait until the 9-5 crowd goes home and then enjoy our self’s with the peace & Quiet.
Thank you, RV Travel! 🙂 Something else. That is, we are spending the last day of an RV trip to Percy Priest Lake outside Nashville in the Poole Knobs U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground (site #7, with adequate cell coverage to read RV Travel daily). Tomorrow morning we return home and resume working around the farm. Thanks again, have a great week, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
Just walked the loop with access to 65 sites, many along Percy Priest Lake, and 34 of them were open (post-check-out time, but precheck-in time). 🤔😯
Visited 1 of my sons and his family in Spokane, Wa. yesterday. Today they will all come over to our RV site in Post Falls, Id. for a visit and lunch together..family time!
Saturday was my wife’s Mother’s funeral in Roanoke, Va. Then drove home Monday. It is what it is, I guess. It was a pretty drive though.
Visiting with our daughter and son in law since Thursday, head home on Tuesday
We have been hosting a get together for our camping group for 30+ years this weekend. Started as a softball game and cookout, old knees stopped that a while ago.
Now I smoke baby back ribs and a couple chickens for the main course and everyone brings sides
The babies from long ago are now adults and bring their significant others, so the next generation hopefully continues the streak.
Went out on a boat with our daughter, son in law and 3 granddaughters on the Great Bay in Portsmouth, NH. Beautiful day with a hint of fall weather.
me and my son replaced a window in our house took the old one out put a new one in
