Though summer doesn’t technically end until Sept. 23rd, our minds tend to start shifting toward fall just after Labor Day. The long weekend feels like a last hurrah, so why not do it up big, before you start getting consumed by sweater weather and all things pumpkin spice?
Consider this your Labor Day weekend must-do list:
- Eat a big slice of watermelon. Or five.
Sure, the juices get everywhere, but come December, you’ll miss the refreshing fruit. - Whip up a batch of frozen margaritas.
We’ve got just the recipe — and it’s perfect for a party, because you can make a big batch without breaking the bank. - Find a pool, beach or lake to cannonball into.
While you’re at it, play Marco Polo or Sharks & Minnows, because the moment you’re too old or too cool for that, you’ve probably died a little inside. - Play your favorite summer jams on loop.
Don’t have time to create your own playlist? We made one on Spotify you can use. - Go paddleboarding, kayaking or canoeing.
No water nearby? Fly a kite, or go for a mile-long walk around town. Just get outside and relish in the sunlight, even if you turn into a sweating, ruddy-faced mess. While you’re at it, take a photo of the sunset to get you through those mid-winter days when you leave work and it’s already pitch-black outside.
