For many people, Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer. It usually means trips to the beach, brushing off your favorite grill recipes and all the family activities you can handle. It's also a time to remember the sacrifices many people made for our country. At AmeriCash Loans, we've put together a list of some of our favorite ways to celebrate Memorial Day. 
 
Fire Up the Grill 
Nothing says Memorial Day weekend like firing up the grill and cooking up steaks, burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, and veggies. Start the summer off right with some new grill recipes from sites like Pinterest, or ask your older relatives if they can pass down some of their tried and true grill recipes from years past.  
 
Enjoy a Weekend of Outdoor Family Activities 
If you're playing a staycation this Memorial Day weekend, enjoy as many outdoor family activities as you can pack into three days. You can even turn them all into a competition and tally them up at the end of weekend to see who won the most. The winner should definitely get a prize. Play games like flag football, softball, corn toss, tag, egg races, and capture the flag. Cool down with a run through the sprinkler, soaking in a kiddie pool. These types of family activities are a great way to have fun and spend some quality time with your kids. 
 
Go for a Weekend Getaway 
If you're tired of staying home and hanging out in the backyard, look for a nearby lake or ocean and plan a weekend beach getaway. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, towels, and a cooler full of beverages and snacks. 
 
Try Camping 
If you want to get away but want something a little more low key, try camping. Even if you want to stay home, set out a tent in the backyard. Make s'mores, roast hot dogs over an open fire, and tell scary stories until you can't stay awake any longer!  
 
Volunteer   
One way to honor the people who gave their lives for their country is to volunteer for the veterans and military members who are still with us. Consider spending the day creating care packages, volunteering at a veteran's hospital, and looking for other opportunities in your community.
