Isn't Labor Day just a holiday for banks to be closed? No, Labor Day is a tribute to the working men and women and for many of us the end of Summer. 

Pacific Home Furniture is looking forward to the Fall season, but we want to share with you The Last Hurrah to Summer. We have included great ideas for you to relish this last bit of summer living. 

1. Have a party or a back yard BBQ. Decide in advance if your get together will be pot luck or how you would like to handle the menu. Be sure this is on the invitation. Have your guests contact you if they will be attending and if you have decided on potluck, this would be the time they can share with you, the dish idea they will be bringing.

2. The park is always a place to have a fun family day. Hiking, a baseball game or if everyone is up for it a game of touch football.

3. Put together a camping trip right in your own back yard. Once the tent is set up, wiki How has more ideas, so I am going to let them convey my thoughts for this fun family activity.  

4. A weekend getaway. Condé Nast said, according to Expedia, data has proved, "We may be procrastinators if we are just now planning a Labor Day weekend getaway." (Though we prefer "spontaneous.") "Turns out 80% of us wait until August to book that weekend getaway." Let them show you their 12 Great Last-Minute Labor Day Getaways. They have included air travel guides, best restaurants and how to visit Disney like a pro. This one gets my vote.

5. Have a picnic (this can be combined with the park idea). Just add your favorite foods.
 All Recipes has every recipe imaginable to put together a feast for your Labor Day picnic.

We hope you are one of the fortunate ones to have a 3 day holiday weekend. Enjoy these last bittersweet days of summer because before we know it the busyness of the holidays will be here.

Pacific Home Furniture is wishing you an enjoyable and safe Labor Day weekend.
