*A nontraditional look at a very traditional holiday because sometimes levity is needed.

This is not intended to disparage the men and women who have given everything for my freedom.  I am extremely grateful and humbled by their sacrifice.

In my search for Memorial Day events, I came across the number one which lead me down the rabbit hole searching other nontraditional Memorial Day events.

4.  Ohio Ice Cream Festival

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.  Because when I think of honoring fallen soliders, ice cream immediately comes to mind.  Not.

 

3. LAPD’s Walk the Talk Parade

LAPD as in Los Angeles Poverty Department. What? Did you think I meant this LAPD?

 

2. Captain Morgan’s Club Pig Roast

Aargh, aye matey, well shiver my timbers if I didn’t want to eat roast pig with a bunch of wenches on Memorial Day.

 

1. NYC Zombie Crawl  Old poster but I like this image better than this year’s.

Can you think of a better way to celebrate Memorial Day than with a Zombie crawl? I sure can’t.

Chase Sapphire Preferred

The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for beginning travel hackers. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points (after spending $4,000 in the first three months).
 
My favorite perks about this card are earning 2X points on travel and dining, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.

Chase Freedom Unlimited

The Chase Freedom Unlimited is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of $200 (after spending $500 in the first three months).
 
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5% cash back at grocery stores the first 12 months (up to $12k), unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can use your points to travel for free.
