Memorial Day Weekend in Bristol

It's Memorial Day Weekend and since we live in a house that faces the Memorial Park in Bristol, it's really hard not to stop and reflect on those who have served our country. Every holiday weekend in the summer, the City of Bristol closes Memorial Boulevard for the community to enjoy the park and the extra space without having to fight traffic. Each year during Memorial Day Weekend, several branches of the military set up booths and displays along the closed road. We are told that the highlight of the weekend is when a Black Hawk Helicopter lands in the ballpark of the Memorial Boulevard Middle School, but unfortunately this year they weren't able to continue this tradition due to the fact that the helicopter was called to be somewhere else. Nonetheless, we still had a great time and it was especially nice to be able to step outside and see everything without even getting out of eyesight of our own home!
