Labor day weekend is here, when our nation celebrates the the end of summer, er, the rights of the working man with bbq, beer and potato salad. If you haven’t yet decided what to do with your three days (or are on the East Coast where drippy weather may put a damper on your plans to go tubing at the lake) take a look at the NYT map of all their ‘36 hours’ columns. Designed for the perfect long-weekend amount of time, there are dozens of stories on everywhere from Seattle, WA to Miami, FL, full of ideas on where to go in the lower 48 to see something new, without having to make an odyssey of it. Caveat traveler: you may have to brave some annual traditions beyond pork eating and touch football, e.g. traffic jams, and redonkulous lines at the airport.
Enjoy the weekend, I’ll be back with you on Tuesday.
