I hope those of you who had a day off had a little time to spend with your E today. If the weather was clear, that is.

Anyone go picnicking, biking, hiking, off with the kids, out with the dogs, or otherwise have an Elemental Memorial Day?

If so, tell us about your day, and share pictures, please!

(And for our Canadian friends, today in the US is Memorial Day, a day of commemoration of the lives of Americans lost fighting in wars. It's a national holiday.)

Kim-

Had a GREAT Memorial Day....drove my E to work at 7am.....drove my E home at 4pm.....forgot I needed to get ice for the Margaritas tonight....so I got to drive the E to the grocery store and back! I life to so wickedly exciting!!! WooooHoooo!!!!

As a side note, being a retail manager, my Memorial Day will be tomorrow....my hubby and I have the day off together....so we are heading to the St. Louis Zoo to see the brand new penguin exhibit!!! YEAH!!!!, then we are going bike riding in Forest Park, then off to the ballgame tomorrow nights....Cards vs Astros!

I am taking the digital camera.....hopefully will get some good pics of me and the E to post!

How was your Memorial Day Kim???

Nice day trip to Gettysburg, PA. for a little history. My 11 y.o. son, said, "Dad, I don't like History...". We get into the Park building, he sees the wall of muskets and rifles and goes, "Wow!".

My passengers told me our SOP Element was getting the double take all over the place up there. A return trip is in order as we didn't have enough time to take the battlefield tour.

Slowhand-

Gettysburg is an awesome place to visit.....but you need more than one day....just try living there for 5 years like I did!!! I grew up on a farm about 7 miles outside of town....and my mom was a tour guide (she was in her element, being a history major in college)

Our Farm had been built during the Cival War....so when we renovated we found all sorts of artifacts in the walls.....it was really cool!

My mom's friend actually had a farm right off the battlefield.....and it was eventually donated to the National Park Service. We lived on a horse farm....and there is nothing like seeing the battlefield from the back of a horse!

Also, what part of Batlimore are you in? I went to boarding school at Olfields School in Glencoe (right near Hunt Valley).

Sounds like an awesome Memorial Day!

StLouisPenguin -interesting comments on Gettysburg - we're close enough that we do plan on spending a number of days up there. I am one of the last urban hold-outs living in the city, down to 600,000 population. I live near Johns Hopkins University, which I am mad at, because they just clear cut the woods on one of the few forested drives left in the city. But the campus is great for my daily walks.

My Memorial Day was spent in an RV, with my Element at home. However, out in the wilds of West Virginia, in the capsite I was staying, there was a silver EX 4WD.... if anyone on the board was at the Pipestem KOA in their E. Hi!!

Went camping with four adults and two 4 year olds. I borrowed my brother-in-laws tent only to find that he forgot to pack the poles... How convenient that my E's seats fold down to make a bed :wink: Wife, son and I 'slept' in the E for two nights in a row. I read in a review that sleeping in the E was like sleeping on nerf footballs, couldn't be written any truer. With some slight modifications, could be comfortable.

Other than that, the weather ended up being perfect and had a great time with my family.
