We had a great Memorial Day weekend!

On Saturday, we had a family movie night- complete with home popped popcorn!

The next day, we went to the store &picked up some food to bring to Justin’s mom’s for a Memorial Day BBQ! We picked up hamburgers & Hebrew National hot dogs- and all the fixings to go with them.

Justin, Shane & I went swimming for a bit, which is always fun. We didn’t stay too long though because it was Justin’s parents’ anniversary the next day {35 years!} so they had dinner reservations!

Monday was pretty low-key: we did some crafts, ran some errands & got some stuff done around the house with Justin’s extra day off.

It was a busy weekend overall though & Shane passed right out on Monday night!

One of the best things about Memorial Day {besides of course taking a special day to think about all of the people who serve our country} is that it’s the unofficial kick-off to summer- and grilling! Justin is an awesome grill master & the hot dogs were awesome.

I made myself what I call a “Somewhere Near Chicago Dog”. Let me explain: I was born in Chicago & lived there until I was 6. I meet people all the time that say they’re “from Chicago” but while I actually lived in the city of Chicago, most of the other people I talk to lived in some suburb or another. So really, they just lived somewhere near Chicago. &Since my favorite style of hot dog is similar to a Chicago dog but could never, ever be classified as one because it uses ketchup instead of mustard {&skips the peppers}, I call it the Somewhere Near Chicago Dog!

I love Hebrew National hot dogs because I don’t have to wonder what’s in them. And since I don’t eat pork, I know they’re a safe bet unlike most brands. They don’t contain any artificial colors or flavors or any fillers either so I feel good giving them to Shane, which is good because he is hot dog obsessed.
