See what's celebrating today — open for your daily dose of National Day Calendar.
Hi Everyone,
Pack your bags and grab your sunglasses, because May 22nd is giving major "out of office" energy. The calendar is practically ordering us to roll the windows down and start the weekend early.
Your May 22nd "Hit the Road" Checklist:
The Great Escape: It is National Road Trip Day! Considered the official kickoff to the summer driving season, today is about mapping out a route, making an epic playlist, and finding out where the highway takes you. The Sun Safety: Before you step outside, remember National Don’t Fry Day. It’s a vital reminder from the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention to protect your skin with SPF, hats, and shade before hitting the beach or the backyard. The Tailgate Essential: Happy National Cooler Day! Whether it’s keeping your road trip drinks ice-cold or sitting on the sidelines of a game, today we salute the unsung hero of outdoor refreshments. The Local Pour: Cheers to the artisans on National Craft Distillery Day. From small-batch bourbons to locally infused gins, today we celebrate the innovators bringing unique flavors to the spirits industry. The Solo Strategy: Celebrate the ultimate time-killer with National Solitaire Day. Whether you prefer a physical deck of cards or the classic desktop version we all used to play at work, it’s a great day for a quick game. The Maritime Might: We recognize National Maritime Day, honoring the courage and sacrifice of the Merchant Marine and celebrating the maritime industry that keeps global trade moving. The Final Touches: We’re rounding out the day with National Buy a Musical Instrument Day (time to finally pick up that ukulele!) and the ultimate comfort dessert, National Vanilla Pudding Day.
The May 22nd Challenge: Apply a solid layer of sunscreen, pack a cold drink in a cooler, and listen to your favorite driving song on your commute home.
A Final Thought: In honor of National Road Trip Day, we want to thank you for riding shotgun with us lately. We know we’ve taken a few sharp turns with our writing style, but we promise the scenic route is always much more interesting than staying on the boring highway!
