In May, the weather warms up, the rain clouds clear, vacations get booked and long weekends planned. It is one of the best and busiest months to travel. Check out some great destinations to book a long weekend, specifically Memorial Day Weekend, in the May sunshine.
Spring is arguably the best time of year to visit this charming southern island. The weather heats up, but stays cooler than the thick, humid summer. The area fills with beautiful spring blooms and foliage, and water temperatures warm for plenty of fun in the surf. Check out the list of events during MDW to explore.
Memorial Day Weekend is a great time to explore Cape Cod. The weather is still brisk, but beautiful. There are plenty of spring events to check out, and fresh Cape Cod seafood to eat. Check out the Rhododendron Festival starting May 26 for some beautiful blooms, or the Figawi Race Weekend for some yacht racing adventures.
Yellowstone is an incredible stretch of pristine and rugged wilderness, but even the vast space can get a little overcrowded. If you don’t mind a bit of snow still in the park this time of year, it is a great time to avoid the summer crowds and have the wilderness to yourself. Plan a camping weekend and spend Memorial Day watching the stars and chasing geysers. Check out some current park conditions to map out your stay.
