May marks the official turning point into summer, and this issue of Extended Weekend Getaways is designed to take you straight into the season with purpose and style. From Patriotic Road Trips in our Countdown to 250 series, to the continuing journey along Missouri’s legendary Route 66, this month blends history, travel inspiration, and seasonal celebration into one curated experience. As we honor Mother’s Day, reflect over Memorial Day weekend, and look ahead to long summer days on the road, this issue invites you to slow down, explore more deeply, and rediscover the joy of the journey ahead.
