I have to admit that when I go to a parade with the kids, I do get tempted to chase after the candy that\u2019s thrown to us parade watchers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Town Pools: <\/em>If you don\u2019t have a pool, then you may want to join your town pool. Divide the cost by the number of times you use the pool and it really is a bargain.<\/p>\n<p><em>Spending Time with Family &amp; Friends: <\/em>Relax and spend some time with your loved ones. Either host a barbeque or attend one, but don\u2019t forget to bring something.<\/p>\n<p><em>Yard Work<\/em>: It will make your spouse happy and you\u2019ll feel good that you\u2019re making your house look nicer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Go to a Park<\/em>: There are so many parks throughout North Jersey to choose from. One of my favorites is Van Saun County Park in Paramus, which has picnic areas, train rides, a zoo, carousel, playgrounds, fishing, etc.<\/p>\n<p><em>Go to a Farm<\/em>: It may be a little early to pick berries or veggies, but many farms offer freshly baked items, dairy products, greenhouse veggies, and very nice scenery.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do, make sure to remember that Memorial Day is a day to celebrate and honor those who died while serving in the armed forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t already booked a trip for this weekend and are looking for some fun, low-cost ideas then here are a few tips: Parades: Many towns have parades this weekend, and if you haven\u2019t been to one in a while then it may bring back some memories from when you were a kid.
