38 days until the start of the Memorial Day Weekend πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Fun fact, Memorial Day this year falls on the traditional, pre-National Monday Holiday Act (1970) day of May 30th. Back in the 1960s, Memorial Day often fell during the middle of the week. For example, Memorial Day ’68 was on a Thursday, and people had to go to work on the Friday after Memorial Day.
