Memorial Day is on Monday, which hopefully means you get a three-day weekend.  But if you haven't planned anything yet, we've got four date ideas you can do on the fly . . .

1. Go On a Photography Expedition.  Pick a theme . . . like classic cars or old men in Speedos . . . and head out to different places around town to take photos of each other with as many theme items as you can find.

 2.Go Geocaching.  It's basically a high-tech treasure hunt, and all you need is a GPS device, like a smartphone.  Then you go to the website Geocaching.com to get the GPS coordinates of a 'geocache'.

3. Travel the 'World'.  Since you're not actually travelling the globe this weekend, you can improvise by hitting as many different foreign foods as possible.  Try to see how many countries you can knock off before you go back to tuna-mac on Tuesday.

 4.Do Something Patriotic.  Even though we all use Memorial Day to mark the start of summer vacation season, don't forget about the REAL reason for it . . . remembering the men and women who died serving in our military.
