Quick Question about Labor Day Weekend...

Tubing last weekend on the Shenandoah River! 

I've just been wondering...

Why do we call Labor Day weekend the "last weekend of the summer" when really, the last day of summer isn't until September 22nd? That gives us two more weekends of summer, which I plan on taking advantage of! I mean, I know for students school starting back up signals the end of summer...but what about all the people that aren't in school or don't have kids starting back into the school mode? If you don't have kids and aren't in school, do you still have two weeks of summer or is Labor Day Weekend the end of your summer? So many questions!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend nonetheless, and please share whether or not your summer ends with this weekend!

  1. Probably because it's around school schedules, and after kids go back to school, schedules start filling up, weekends are less open for fun stuff, and the pools are usually closed.
    Either way, I'm enjoying this weekend, and any other weekend that has nice weather :)

    i have no idea about the whole labor day weekend being the last of the summer - honestly, everything to do with how the seasons start and end here confuses me lol
