Symbolically representing the transition from summer to fall, Labor Day gathers friends and family together for one final weekend packed full of events and activities before students return back to school and the journey into the seemingly never ending months that end in “ber” begins.
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers, but it was first celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883. In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday and have been celebrated on that day ever since, which, luckily, gives us a long weekend to celebrate.
I’m sure many of you already have plans (as do I), but if you don’t, I would like to remind you about many interesting destination I have featured on my blog. Just go to Friend's Travel Club’s archive (provide link here) and pick something you would consider visiting.
Happy Labor Day and easy travel to all of you!
