Memorial Day Weekend is a little taste of summer I always look forward to. Whether you’re staying put or heading off to a far-flung destination (why not milk it?), it’s one of those laid back holidays where ice cold beer and barbecues are the priorities.

Matt had a BBQ on his rooftop in his apartment before we moved in together…our first year of dating was pretty much centered around grilling veggies and watching the sun go down. Oh, the good ole’ days. It’s our mission this weekend to make it happen.
