Memorial Day - How do you Celebrate?

How do you Celebrate Memorial Day?  Do you have any great recipes to share?

My family and I don't have any set plans every year, but we always go to the local music festival Riverfest, cook-out and try to hang out by a pool/lake at some point during the long weekend.  Our grilling food of choice is typically just burgers and hot dogs.

I do remember as a little girl, my dad making home-made ice cream - YUM!!!  I miss that. 

Here is a great website with some amazing recipes you and your family might want to try this holiday weekend.

QUICK FACT:  Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
