MEMORIAL DAY WEEK-END 2019

Memorial-Day-PicturesI used to never have good Memorial Day week-ends, but they’ve picked-up in recent years.  And this year may just be the best one because my bestie and I are going to see the Cirque du Soleil show, Amaluna, under the iconic Grand Chapiteau on the San Pedro waterfront!  We can’t wait.  It’s the perfect time for us Westsiders to go down there because traffic always slows down on holiday week-ends.

I’ll also be seeing another theatre piece, and hopefully spending some time at a beach fair, which is always a good idea on this relaxed week-end.  With so many going out of town, it should be easier than usual to get everyplace.

No matter what you do over the next three days, I wish you all a very peaceful and especially safe, Memorial Day week-end.  I know it’s tempting to tipple along the way, but please, please, please do not drink and drive.  And, just as importantly, please remember to take a few minutes along the way to honor the fallen, at least on Monday.
