Last Minute Memorial Day Weekend Getaway Ideas

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, and what better way to celebrate than by taking a fun last-minute weekend getaway? Sure, many head to the beach, but there are numerous other places you could visit that could prove to be just as enjoyable. Need some ideas? Check out the following getaways that you can take Memorial Day weekend.

Head to a Bed and Breakfast
If there’s a little bed and breakfast that’s a favorite of yours or one that you’ve been hoping for awhile to stay at, consider heading there for Memorial Day weekend. They may have open reservations even on short notice, so take a chance anyway and see if they have an availability or if they can at least put you on a waitlist in case of a cancellation.

Explore A Town You’ve Been Wanting to Visit
Many of us have a town that’s relatively close to us that we’ve been meaning to visit but just haven’t yet, even if we’ve lived near it for years. There’s no better time than Memorial Day weekend to take a little getaway and see what the town has to offer!

Do A Little Golfing
Love golf? Why not spend some time on the green Memorial Day weekend? Whether you stay at the golf resort or you stay near the golf course, you’ll have ample time to play one of your favorite sports for as long as possible. Wherever you decide to stay, see if they’re offering any Memorial Day weekend specials that you could take advantage of.

Head to A State Park
One of the best aspects of staying at a state park for Memorial Day weekend is that you can spend your getaway camping under the stars, enjoying the fresh air, watching for wildlife, doing some hiking, cooking outdoors, and admiring the gorgeous scenery. It’s typically a budget-friendly option that’s easy to plan relatively quickly.

Take A Wine Vacation
If you’re a fan of wine, consider Memorial Day weekend your chance to do a tour of a few wineries. It’s a way to experience different tasting rooms, buy some new favorite bottles of wine, and enjoy the gorgeous views that often come with wineries. Some even offer live music and host Memorial Day weekend events.

There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re planning a last-minute Memorial Day weekend getaway. The first is that you’re likely going to hit traffic which can be worse in some areas than others depending on where you live. It’s best to try and leave when it’s not peak traffic time so you don’t spend more time in traffic than you have to. Also, the sooner you plan your getaway the better so you can increase your chances of being able to do the plans that you’re looking forward to. Lastly, do your research ahead of time so even if the plans are just a “maybe” or a “possibly” as of right now, if they become a “definitely,” you already have everything in order and can make your plans and reservations in a matter of minutes.
