Last-minute Memorial Day weekend plans for every procrastinator

Memorial Day weekend is often seen as the official kick-off to warmer weather. However, it’s important to remember the sacrifices made by our military so that we may have the freedom to enjoy this and every other weekend.

• Honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice with a patriotic ceremony at the Delaney Park Strip, in downtown Anchorage.

• Get out of town and go camping.

• Hop aboard the Alaska Railroad, which began summer service May 11. Book a ticket, and enjoy the beginning of summer from panoramic, glass-dome train cars.

• Visit an Alaska national park.
