[HawkeyeShawn]

Saturday and Sunday, 16U basketball tournament in Lincoln. Sunday off to our condo at the Lake of the Ozarks. Spending Memorial Day through Sunday there with the family. Hoping the weather forecast changes and we get some warmer days.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

15U basketball tournament in Minneapolis then working on the garden and other projects to get ready for my oldest’s grad party.

1. Friday evening, enjoy either a mint julep or a manhattan and then dinner al fresco overlooking the DC skyline.
2. Saturday, Ride bikes or work out, depending on weather. Perhaps pick up some tix to the Nats game.
3. Ride bikes, probably stopping at brewery afterwards
4. Ride bikes

Note - was hoping that the Marines were doing their twilight parade with silent drill team at Iwo Jima memorial, but they do not appear to be. (PRO TIP - IF YOU ARE EVER VISITING THE DC AREA ON A TUESDAY SUMMER EVENING AT 7 PM, CHECK TO SEE IF THEY ARE DOING IT AT IWO OR LINCOLN. IWO IS BETTER, BUT EITHER WAY, IT'S THE BEST FREE EVENT IN THE CITY FOR MY MONEY. And being run by the Marines, it starts and ends precisely on time.)

Heading to Orlando to catch my Caribbean cruise out of Cape Canaveral.

Considering the NWS has already issued flood watches covering the entire weekend, with chances of rain every day beginning tonight...I know getting the boat out is out of the question.

If you're going boating anywhere in Iowa, be careful. Gonna be a lot of tree branches etc in the waters.

 

[Aardvark86]

Oh, i left out one thing. Tomorrow night, on South Park, they will be airing an epsiode called "The End of Obesity" which takes on semaglutides and should be must see TV for anybody who likes to make fun of the fatty commercials and for me professionally as an industry schill.

 

[millah_22]

Already off today and tomorrow. Heading out to a cottage in podunk NE sit sit along a river and do swamp man activities for the weekend.

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

[Kinnick 4 Prez]

Yard work, play some golf, wedding, drink, enjoy company of good friends.

 

[ICWestfan]

NE Iowa for fishing, boating, maybe some beach time. Weather dependent, Friday and SUnday look iffy at best. Mississippi needs to come down a couple of feet.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Going to Greenfield to, help my second cousin once removed, get rid of the debris that she once lived in.

 

[millah_22]

[luvmyhawks]

First weekend without youth sports in quite awhile so going to enjoy sleeping in for sure. Couple grad parties on Friday and Saturday. End of year soccer party for my oldest but he can drive himself. Outside of that. Lots of grilling yard work and putting down some beers.

Grilling/smoking meats, hopefully swimming at least one day, and packing for Italy.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Not much but I thought about either taking the kids to a movie or doing a movie night in our house.

We are kind of homebodies so I'm guessing it will probably be in our house.

I'll probably spend the weekend correcting people who don't understand the difference between memorial day and veterans day.

 

[BelemNole]

Was thinking about heading up to Tahoe to get some fishing in, but the weather is changing to cold and windy up there. Plus, my daughter will be home from college tonite.

 

[beanerhawk]

The forecast is horrible here in Eastern Iowa, was hoping to get in some golf and pool time but neither are looking good. Just have to play it by ear and see where the wind takes me. I'm sure a little grilling out, eating out, a few cocktails and enjoying the pockets of decent weather outside.

Flying back to Iowa for my cousins lesbian wedding

Same here. Golfing for sure and hope to get some good weather to hang by the pool. Hope to hit the farmers market and do some biking too or maybe bike down to it.

 

[artradley]

Friday: cocktails with friends

Saturday: HOA pool opening BBQ and Karoke.

Sunday: son and his fiancé will be here. Cooking something outside but have t decided what. Probably ribs.

Monday: should be pool weather, then cocktails with friends in the evening.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

Smoking a pork shoulder Saturday for a get together of a dozen or so family and friends on Sunday. Some yard work and gardening also. Hopefully the weather cooperates so we can get the fire pit going Sunday night as we enjoy some adult libations.

In my experience, IRL you don't want pics.

 

[Moral]

No plans. It sounds amazing.

 

[Derekd3408]

I didn't know it was MDW until Monday, so didn't get anything planned. Will probably base the day off what the weather allows. Hopefully we can hit my parents pool/tiki bar and smoke some pork in honor of JR.

 

[SoProudNole]

Il go door to door and ask if there's a verteran there I can thank for their service.

If they don't answer it is probably a PTSD veteran so knock harder to make them feel comfortable.

 

[3boysmom]

Heading to Colorado with our best friends. Picking up the new UTV tomorrow and hitting trails where we can. Saturday the little town is having a parade and block party and Sunday we are heading up to Salida to check out trails up there.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Have 15 family coming over for a pool party Saturday. Weather says 78 and sunny…pool heater is up and running. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken, corn on the cob on the grill with plenty of cold beer and bourbon.

Should be glorious.

I'd love to say fishing.

But probably on a golf course helping my son.

I like to consider Memorial Day weekend to be the worst fishing weekend of the year. Followed by the 4th of July weekend.
