Easy Labor Day Getaway Ideas for Last-Minute Planners
Make Labor Day Travel Fun With These Stellar Destinations
Though Labor Day weekend sadly signals the end of summer, it is the perfect opportunity to go out with a bang.
The long weekend also means many people take advantage of the time off to go on vacation. Or maybe your vacation style is more rugged and consists of a camping trip; perhaps you’re using your precious days off to road trip to visit family. Regardless of what you choose to do, Labor Day should be a fun celebration of summer.
Even a spur-of-the-moment trip doesn’t have to put a dent in the wallet if you set your sights on a city instead of the standard beach vacation.
